A few weeks ago I heard on the radio about a reality TV show in Holland called The Big Donor Show, featuring “a a terminally-ill woman who selects one of three patients to receive her kidneys when she dies.”

I was shocked by it all, but it turns out I needn’t have been as it was all a hoax. I’m not sure that makes it any better really. No matter what they say about highlighting problems, at the end of the day they used a very serious illness to create publicity and profit for themselves. That’s just wrong!
