I think we are publicly appalled, but secretly stand in solidarity with those who chose to fall. This man appears to be at peace, already - not flailing, but diving towards his inevitable "next," whatever it may be.

To call the photo "pornography" is to call out, I think, a very few mentally ill individuals. For the rest of us, it's merely thought provoking and saddening. Who isn't curious about death? We all die. It's inevitable. To look at photos of death is little different than a child, curious to see photos of the opposite sex, when sex itself is still a far off mystery. We have sanitized and packaged and tried to cheat death until death and dying seem like nothing more than a horror story.

How dare anyone judge those, like him, for the choices they made that morning? How DARE they?
