It was a hoax!

The Big Donor show, which I posted about here, turned out to be a big hoax. The "terminally ill woman" was actually a healthy actress. The "contestants" were real kidney patients, but were in on the hoax. Regardless, I still believe there are better ways to promote organ donation. I don't think the Big Donor Show succeeded in highlighting the need for more organ donors. Instead people will remember the controversy surrounding the show. Why not do a serious show where people awaiting transplants can share their stories? That would truly put the focus on the need for organ donors.
