De grote donorshow.
And if the foreign powers didn't loathe us enough already with our drugs, gaymarriage and all the ususal suspects, our own station BNN will be broadcasting a show where a terminally ill woman is promising her kidneys to one of three patients in a gameshow-setting.
Now they REALLY must think out there that we're the Sodom & Gomorra of Europe. Unnuanced Mid-West Republicans will probably have a field-day depicting us as the skidrow of the globe and eventually drag the name 'Mengele' into the outcry at one time or another, you'll see.
*sigh*
I dó love that we're a bit different from the rest of the planet, but sometimes I'm getting a little tired we're playing to be the deviant.
I think uninformed people that don't get communicated the purpose of this show (which is asking attention in a very provocative manner for organ-donation and trying to get lots more donors, as the founder of the station died 5 years ago of kidney-failure), will think of us as unethical monsters without any morals whatsoever.
The way this is issue is depicted in international media, our image is denting even more as it was. And that's not a good thing.
I am a donor btw; they can harvest everything except my skin. Have the card in my wallet since 1998 and even before that year, I already had the old version which you had to fill out yourself.
It's a bloody shame that in our country, 7 out of the 16 million people didn't make their choice yet. The show's purpose is to make people think about whether they want to be a donor or not. I wish folks wouldn't be so slow about choosing what they want.
