On the first hand, I am thoroughly appalled. And I can't imagine what type of person would agree to be that donor.
On the second hand, however, I get each of the other two contestants comes out of it with people offering their kidneys. So, if in the end it means that three people get a kidney instead of one is that a net good?
Add in the huge publicity this will create for the need for organ donation and also (hopefully) some education on the risks, rewards, and realities of both live and dead organ donation and maybe it is a clear societal positive while the person who agreed to be the donor for the show and the producers remain utter ****s.
