Sorry but I find it unethical to do so, the fact these people struggle to even live, let alone exist means they would benefit from careful and staggered contact from the outside world.

Its the opposite of what most people feel, but we have a ethical duty to help and improve the situation of these people, not watch them from afar like some caged monkeys for our amusement.
A view that is not uncommon but are more prominent in the unenlightened. I suggest you read up on cultural relativism.

Or watch Star Trek.
