I wouldn't want to watch it. Remember that movie, "Faces of Death", where they showed all of these real images of dead people, including in the mortuary? In high school, I wanted to see it so bad. Well, after I saw it I was physically sick. Now HBO has "Autopsy - the Dead Speak". Well, the more I watch an "Autopsy" show, the less it bothers me.
I think if we start broadcasting executions, we'll become desensitized to it, lessening the sheer horror of the punishment. The same way we have people that are so exposed to crime and prisoners that they have an "I don't care if I go to jail..." way of thinking), I think execution programs could assist in creating that sort of mentality.
