Dutch TV Hoax Boosts Number Of Kidney Donors

Last month a Dutch TV show was said to be offering a kidney as a prize. “The Big Donor Show was revealed to be a hoax as the fake donor was apparently about to reveal her choice of patient. But Dutch media say the number of people registering as organ donors has jumped since the hoax. The usual monthly figure is just 3-4,000.” In the past month that has jumped to 12,000.
