I don't think anyone's proposing that the information should be removed
from articles; just that there should be some tools available in
people's account settings.
I personally would be happy to turn off images in medicine-related
articles by default for my own browsing, because they aren't greatly
informative most of the time, and just pointless gore--- if, for
example, I'm reading about skin diseases, "another generic open sore
photo" doesn't add a lot of content to my reading. Of course, I would
like photos available for inspection when I do need them.
