I guess I don't see how we can permit individuals to control what we display. What if the family of the shot fighter in the famous Vietnam war photo alluded to earlier in this discussion objected to the public display of this image of his killing? Should we remove it out of respect for human dignity, despite its historical importance? I would argue we shouldn't. The same goes for the Vietnamese girl covered with napalm---it should stay, even if her family objected.
Note that in this case the family hasn't actually objected. They haven't asked people not to disseminate the video or reprint stills from it, or really said anything at all that would indicate they had a problem with the video itself. Perhaps they do, but they haven't indicated so. Not that I'd expect them to ask us at Wikipedia anything, but if they objected in general, they may have asked the major media organizations not to disseminate the footage or photographs from it, and as far as I can tell they haven't done so.
