TV's New Low - Reality Show To Win A Kidney

A Dutch TV station says it will go ahead with a programme in which a terminally ill woman selects one of three patients to receive her kidneys - somehow this seems very very wrong.

How does a sick woman chose who gets her kidney? What kind of obstacles will the contestants have do? - What's wrong with whoever is next on the list gets it when she pass & how do you tell two other terminally ill people 'sorry - you didn't win because don't like the looks of you, or like that one friend of yours, or whatever the case may be??

Seems very very wrong.

The 37-year-old donor, identified only as Lisa, will make her choice based on the contestants' history, profile and conversation with their family and friends.Viewers will also be able to send in their advice by text message during the 80-minute show.

It's awful to see what ideas they are coming up with for reality TV. This is rediculous
