We do not need laws that procecute horrible people for looking at horrible things. So long as they have not harmed anyone, I think even terribly sick people deserve a right to privacy.

This mirrors my position on many such things... I don't like it, I don't condone it. Neither do I condone drug use, smoking, drinking, or the eating of Big Macs, but I do not think it is the role of government to enforce my value system on others.
