Darwin Awards

In recent years many of us have become aware of a new award that is giving out to a select few people, or the Darwin awards. This award is given out only to people who have either died in very stupid way, or lost the ability to reproduce, thus taking them out of the gene pool. The awards have gained tons of popularity and have multiple books as well as this website. Of course I enjoy these stories and laughing at the stupidity of others, but this presents a problem, morally is it right to have a entire idea based upon the unfortunate situations of others? I know it is all in good humor, but is it disrespectful to those who have been hurt is the real question. It may be insensitive to the family members or friends of those lost, without the consent of them. My personal opinion is that I do not think the awards are that bad and really like the books and website. But i also have no personal connection to anyone who has been in the stories or really who has died in an unfortunate way. What do you think about the awards? Do you think that they should be allowed to share these stories without the consent of the family?
