What is the reporter's moral duty when subject is in danger?
I was watching the show "Intervention" last week. The unfortunate 22 yr old alcoholic man was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning. As he sat there talking to the camera he told them he was going to drink the hand sanitizer. He then proceeded to do just that. They filmed it, and added a disclaimer that drinking isopropyl alcohol is very dangerous.
Shouldn't they have had an obligation to tell hospital staff?

I used to work at the health dept. and we had homeless people coming in just to fill up their water bottles with the wall hand sanitizer because they were so desperate to get drunk. I think the cameraman should have alerted the staff because the whole reason for the show is for an Intervention.

It might be a factor of the times. Jobs are hard to get. Someone with integrity to himself or herself would not have allowed that to happen. Of course they should have told the hospital staff.
