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.
Viewers will be able to advise the 37-year-old woman, known as Lisa, via text messages which of the candidates to pick.
The show is scheduled for next Friday in a prime time spot.
The show is produced by Endemol, the Dutch entertainment powerhouse that invented the Big Brother television show in 1999.
Several transplant patient organisations and politicians have objected to The Big Donor Show.
“This is going in the direction of selling organs,” said a spokeswoman for the Dutch Transplant Foundation.
