3 Contestants to Vie for Kidney
May 29th, 2007
A Dutch reality show that claims to be trying to draw attention to a shortage of organ donors said Tuesday it would go ahead with a program in which a terminally ill woman will choose a contestant to receive one of her kidneys.
The program, “Big Donor Show,” has been attacked as unethical and tasteless. At least one member of the Dutch parliament plans to ask the government to block Friday’s broadcast.
“We know that this program is super controversial and some people will think it’s tasteless, but we think the reality is even more shocking and tasteless: waiting for an organ is just like playing the lottery,”
Laurens Drillich, chairman of the BNN network, said in a statement.
Yea, TV has gone on CRACK. When you start “Vieing” for body parts, something has gone terribly wrong. Don’t you have to be a match for an organ? How can she just choose someone? Of course if my liver ever goes out I maybe flying to Netherlands.
