Would you watch an execution?

The oldest profession in the world is prostitution. The second oldest is the executioner. I don’t know if that’s true, but it makes sense. It seems that the natural progression of the human mind, whether explored at a macro level or a micro level, goes from sex to violence pretty quickly. Snuff films, anyone? Despite most of the world (I hope) understanding executions as terrible, terrible things, that same world tends to have a curiosity toward the morbid. So if you had an opportunity to watch an execution, would you? My apologies for anyone lead to believe by the opening sentence that this episode would be about prostitution).
