I think with reality TV, Survivor and Jersey Shore that society's 'social mores' are trending more toward increasing public and televised torture for entertainment if anything.
This. I actually think fights to the death will be on pay per view (maybe only over the internet) within the next 15-20 years. Humans have done it before (gladiators, etc) and I think that's the way society is going.

Probably prisoners in an undeveloped country fighting for their freedom. (kind of like "Death Race" but without the cars)
