TV is bottoming out. It won't be long before :
"Shave My Back!"
"Who Wants To Sleep With My Whole Family?"
"Folding Laundry With The Stars"
Only on FOX!

Sometimes a shock is needed to make a point.
The TV Show is trying to show the horrors that can happen when there is such a huge shortage of donors, as we have today.
The founder of BNN, the TV channel that puts this show on the air, Bart de Graaff, died exactly 5 years ago this week, because he didn't find a donor kidney. People simply don't fill in a donor card, because they don't think about it.
The show is really needed. If they would have made a beautiful documentary about the same subject, nobody would have watched. Now an entire country is talking about the subject, parliament tried to ban the show (and failed at that), and people start to think of new ways to get more people willing to be a donor after their death.
Sometimes a shock is needed to save lives.

I have heard about this impending show, and it makes me queasy. It's a horror to think about people who are desperate to live being placed in such a situation. I am praying that no one will watch the show, and that people will boycott the advertisers.

Hell yeah, I've always wondered what human kidneys taste like.

Nope. I tried a transplant but it didn't work out. There are others out there who may be in worse need than I but if one of my sons needed it I would do what I could.

no.. but if I needed one I would have no problem going on TV to ask for a donor. A game like that would be inhumane if the losers may die of kidney failure or remain or dialysis the rest of their lives.... duh.
