Hmm, I dunno what to think. It's a reality TV show that may air which has three dudes compete in order to receive a pair of kidneys from a dying woman.

LOL. TV...

EDIT: Read this in a newspaper article:
"A TV show in which a woman would donate a kidney to a contestant was revealed as a hoax Friday, with presenters saying they were trying to pressure the government into reforming organ donation laws.

Shortly before the controversial program was to air, Patrick Lodiers of the "Big Doner Show" said the woman was not actually dying of a brain tumor as claimed and the entire exercise was intended to add pressure on the government and to raise public awareness of the need for organs."

lol what the fck

What do exect from mad Dutch people.

They do it because there's a lack of donors in the Netherlands and probably the rest of Europe/world.
And they'd get high viewratings.

Bad publicity is better as no publicity.

WHAT
THE
F***

That's seriously sick, man...

Sorry for the double-post. Lag.

It's quite understandable.
Dying woman with cancer wants to give up her kidney. Not many do > +1 for dying woman.
3 people will have more chance getting a new kidney with this show. In real life they probably won't be so close to a new beginning thanks to the lack of donors.


It might seem sick to some of you, but unless you can grasp the problem behind it, you won't understand why.
If you ever lose someone who's dear to you, because he couldn't get a donor organ in time, you'd be in a better position to judge.

Why is it sick that a tvshow offers someone a chance to save their life?
Isn't the life more important than the show being unethical?
They have show where they preform cosmetic surgery, which is "allowed".

What I mean is that it's sick that they're doing it for ratings - you think the producers of the show actually give half a shit about the women who's dying, or the three guys that need the kidney? No. They're doing it for the ratings, and that's what makes it sick.

Believe me, man, I know what it's like being helpless, watching someone you love die of cancer...

roflzomg

I couldn't agree more.

Edited my original post. It's all a hoax lol, check it out.

heard about it in CNN, thats just bad, ppl's lives are at stake and all they care about is tv and 15 min of fame. They BETTER have a surprise ending where all 3 get kidneys or im gonna go rip the kidneys out of the producers


-and then-

LOL good plan

Dude lol read the whole first post, it's all a hoax to bring public attention to their doner problem and to put pressure on the govt.

i did.....

roflmfao

Well then how do you still think they're doing it for ratings...?

If you'd read it then you should understand that they did it to raise public awareness and to pressure the government...

hopefully the three guys where in on the hoax other wise that just sucks donkey balls

Yeah they were. I just didn't want to give you guys too much to read. They were, however, in real need of organ transplants. Are I should say heh.
