When Reality TV Goes Too Far

"The Big Donor Show" will feature a terminally ill woman that will choose from a selection of contestants which one will get her kidney when she passes away.
The network and producers have been attacked from all over the world being tasteless and not very elegant.
The network head said, “We know that this program is super controversial and some people will think it’s tasteless, but we think the reality is even more shocking and tasteless: Waiting for an organ is just like playing the lottery."
The thing is the woman could choose someone to take her kidney and they might not even get it! If the woman dies before her kidney is given away, she no longer has a choice. It will then go to whoever is on the National list.
Viewers will determine each week who should get her kidney, but the woman ultimately decides.
