Tankus Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 A huge row has broken out over a reality game show by the makers of Big Brother which will see a terminally-ill woman choose a recipient for her kidneys.Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf said The Big Donor Show, on channel BNN, would see a dying 37-year-old woman - identified only as Lisa - choose from three people with kidney problems.She will make her choice based on the contestants' history, profile and conversations with their families and friends.Viewers will be able to send text messages advising her during the 80-minute showJust when you thought that endermol couldn't get any lower .!..This programme would be illegal here in the UK ..apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 This is absolute rock bottom in the league of decency.I used to have respect for the Dutch outlook on life - I hope they give this show the viewership it deserves. Mr Mol - the owner of Endemol should have his kidneys wrenched from his body and fed to the dogs for even contemplating this obscenity. It is claimed the programme highlights a shortage of donors in Holland. No it doesn't at all. It provides a viewing platform for the sick and perverted.Yuk!

Thos Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Most people would agree that the decision on who should receive a kidney, or indeed any other organ should be a medical one.Thos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuces wild Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Although not appropriate as a tv show I have no problem with the donor selecting who will get the organ(s) provided the possible recipients have equal needs medically as determined by their medical history and exams.

This is what we find upsetting, the voyeurism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I for one will not be watching the program, not in the least tempted. My view is that television has enough crap on it without inviting more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 TIt is claimed the programme highlights a shortage of donors in Holland. Yuk!It also highlights the shortage of the will to make good television programmes. It is, as I commented recently, "free public performers" and rip off phone-in scams. Head I win, tails you lose.It's time the world saw the end o' Mol.edit.You have to admit, though, that just when one think standards can get no lower, some moron comes along and shows one just how misguided one can be.
