I assume you probably heard of the reports [ie the donee was actually a paid actress, etc] before we did, though! Apparently it was all a big publicity stunt, much to my relief.

Essentially, that is what this show is doing - since the two people who don't "win" the kidney will end up dying unless they get a donor kidney - and that is morbidly fascinating to the audience who watches this show. Which is sick. After mulling this over a bit, I’ve decided that it is incorrect and unethical to make a spectable out of death or the process of dying.
