Dutch TV Show outrage - BBC News

after watching the actual news story on it i believe it's actually meant to be satirical and mocking society by taking on the gameshow format. its trying to achieve something good but i forgot what it is, basically.

Is it wrong that I found that funny... :O

i think there's a good and bad point to it.
it's not right to showcase any sort of transplant set up as a "game show". the fact the children have to win the kidney is just wrong.
but on the other hand, it publicises the serious need for organ donations, which in my opinion i think the show will achieve to put across.

Just showing the lack of kidney donors there is. At the end of the day, its giving someone an opportunity in life.

1 word

SICK!

LMAO! I WANT HER LIVER.

I agree. I seen it last night on news.

:/ It's horrible

I'm Dutch and this is not how our culture is.

They're trying to make people aware of how rare kidney donations are. They make it look like a game show because getting a kidney is like winning the jackpot. (Very rare)

I still don't think they should do it like this, one person will get a kidney which is great, but the other 2 will have to go back because they're not chosen by that woman and the rest of the Netherlands (the ones who voted for the winner anyway).
I think they should've followed the life of a person who needs a kidney, show how many times they go to the hospital and how many times they can't get a kidney and then at the end of the program that woman gives her kidney to that person.
