It’s completely unacceptable, in my opinion. A terminally ill woman is going on this show and deciding who gets her kidney. No joke.
The former director of TV station BNN, Bart de Graaff, died from kidney failure aged 35 after spending years on a transplant waiting list.
“The chance for a kidney for the contestants is 33%,” said the station’s current chairman, Laurens Drillich. “This is much higher than that for people on a waiting list.”
“We think that is disastrous, so we are acting in a shocking way to bring attention to this problem.”
Interesting point - but the lists exist for a reason. And the people who don’t “win” … well, they die. It’s so unethical on so many levels.
