A Kidney :rolleyes:.

Not bad I guess if you need one.

A new TV programme from the makers of Big Brother.

Big Brother Kidney Giveaway

I see contestants who are in effect on Death Row are to battle it out on a Big Brother show in the Netherlands for a kidney...donated by a car crash victim. Does anyone else think this is farcical, and upsetting for the thousands out there on dialysis awaiting transplants?:mad:

It's pretty sick alright. The makers are claiming that the programme will highlight the lack of organ donors, Dutch politicians are coming out strongly against it. Endemol will do just about anything for publicity it seems.
