Reality TV's new low?
A huge row has broken out over a reality game show by the makers of Big Brother which will see a terminally-ill woman choose a recipient for her kidneys.
It will show three seriously ill patients set out why they are most deserving of a life-saving kidney transplant.
The programme, to be shown in the Netherlands on Friday, has caused outrage among health campaigners and politicians.
They say The Big Donor Show, made by Dutch company Endemol, represents a new low in reality TV and should not be aired.
But the makers have defended the show, saying it is meant to highlight the difficulty of obtaining a kidney donor.
