I agree. Support axing them.

I also support. I feel really bad for even discovering such a section existed. Feels like people were being really mean-spirited.

Disagree. I don't see what harm it is doing.
EDIT: Actually now that I think about it specific examples are probably in bad taste. General examples should be fine though (like diseases and such).

Yeesh, it's the medical equivalent of Shock Site examples.
I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!

Am I the only one that finds it extremely tasteless to include real-life examples under this trope? Aren't we essentially inviting people to gawk at the misfortunes of others in a somewhat offensive manner, especially with all the image links involved? ("Wow, look at how horrible this person looks!")
I wouldn't say that applies to all examples listed, but in general...
