Now... this is just...

Okay, it shows a human face, on which we can put a name, a story. This 
is not an anonymous blurred penis. I also wonder how the family of this 
man will appreciate that we display this picture. I think we reach the 
limit of dignity here. I also think (for those who might not be sensible 
to the dignity argument) that such a display might be more hurtful than 
beneficial on Wikipedia image.

Now, I understand that some people want this picture on Wikipedia very 
much. I did not censor it by deleting it. So, it is no use screaming 
censorship.

I did an online link to this picture, so it is available, but only to 
those who wish to see it. Not to everyone.

I know not how much votes would be in favor of visibly displaying that 
picture on Wikipedia. I consider it really is a candidate for an image 
hidden behind a link.
