Dutch TV Station Program

A Dutch TV station says it will go ahead with a program in which a terminally ill woman selects one of three patients to receive her kidneys. "It's a crazy idea," said Joop Atsma, of the ruling Christian Democrat Party and I have to agree with him. Have you ever heard of such a thing? The broadcaster says it will highlight the country's shortage of organ donors. I know there is a shortage almost everywhere but this takes the cake. Even the Dutch donor authority has condemned the show, as well as, kidney specialists in the UK. I don't think it would go over here in the United States either.
