Have we got this one?
or maybe

, I don't envy you. It would have to be damned tough to tell a story without geting personally involved. Like the photographers who filmed the guy pouring gasoline over himself & igniting it. They thought (correctly?) that they had to remain outside the story as opposed to saving this fools life. I hope you do well & avoid such agonizing decisions.

Gonz brings up an interesting point.

Hmmm, that's a very hard decision to make.
Not because I'm not sure if the right thing to do is to take pictures or save this guys life, but because I'm not sure how you would save somebody's life that has done something as drastic as that.
And if you saved somebody from a death like that, how much of the rest of their life is really going to be worth living?
I also have a problem because I believe that a person has the right to do what they want to their body, and if this person wants to die in such a tragic death, what right do I have to stop them? Now, if the person was doing this to somebody else, then there's no question, stop the crazy person, save the lives of the innocent.
I think the question as to should you help or not really doesn't have anything to do with taking pictures. It's a deeper moral question as to how you view life and respecting the wishes of those who choose to end theirs.

The case that Gonz brought up would depend on how able someone is physically to be able to keep the person from doing it. Basically, you would have to knock someone out cold to keep them from doing that.
