The Big Donor Show: Win a dying woman's kidneys




A Dutch reality television show, in which a terminally ill woman selects a contestant to receive her kidneys when she dies, goes on the air this week.



The government has called for De Grote Donorshow (The Big Donor show) to be dropped because it is "unethical" and "wretched" but the broadcaster BNN said it would go ahead to highlight the difficulties of searching for kidney donors.
