If we keep going in this direction for too long, then it’s only a matter of time until The Running Man is more than just a book (well, technically, it already is, since they made a movie, but you get what I mean).

Hmmm, “Kidney Jeopardy” sounds promising.

I’ll take Renal Failure for five hundred, Alex? Sounds pretty disgusting to me.

Exit question: You’d watch, wouldn’t you?

I said I’d keep blogging, just without much commentary.

And yet, he comments to say he’s not going to comment much. You’re just as bad and addict as Michelle blogging in the salon.

Several transplant patient organisations and politicians have objected to The Big Donor Show.

“This is going in the direction of selling organs,” a spokeswoman for the Dutch Transplant Foundation told Algemeen Dagblad.

Well if the organ industry wasn’t socialized then maybe there would be more on the market. If you sell it, the price goes to the estate, like for your grandchildrens college fund or charity of your choice. . . . only thing is how to keep down the insedents of harvest mugging.

My father was a kidney transplant recipient and I will never think ill of the practice of organ transplant. It was a gift of 28 years he would not have had otherwise.

But this…this….abomination that BNN will broadcast had better be spurned by everybody.

DUTCH broadcaster BNN plans to air a television show next week in which a terminally ill woman will decide who out of three young patients will get her kidney.

Not to be outdone, MSNBC plans to air a television show next week in which Olberdunce will decide who out of his three viewers will get his Ashley Banfield spectacles.

Exit question: You’d watch, wouldn’t you?

Only if the show aired the operation right then and there, after “Lisa” makes her decision.

Nether in the Netherlands.

Exit question: You’d watch, wouldn’t you?

I can honestly say I wouldn’t be interested in watching that at all. Three humans reduced to playing a game to determine who lives and who dies. Sick? Disgusting? I don’t think there’s an appropriate word for it.

Exit question: You’d watch, wouldn’t you?

With a big bowl of hasheesh, port rhines, and beer. Make a weekend out of it on the DVR.

If I were Dutch, that is….

I was under the impression the flight has been delayed. Not explanations given.

The ethical issues (arguments) could probably fill a terabyte of storage…

Donor organizations sell organs all of the time … but they scream when anyone talks about their sources ( or the source’s family ) getting a cut.

and you said you weren’t going to post much this weekend Allah.
