The Intersection of Life...
I, like all people of good conscience, was shocked and appalled when first made aware of the then upcoming The Big Donor Show. A human organ is not a set of matching home appliances to be competed over to the delight of the Dutch Pat Sajak! I heard one of the show's producers arguing that The Big Donor Show was in bad taste, yes, but it was intentionally provocative in order to raise public awareness of organ donation; while I agreed with the nobility of his goal, I could not agree that the worthy end justified the degrading means. Hoaxlink. Now that The Big Donor Show has been revealed to have been a hoax, that there was never a kidney up for grabs, I think it's brilliant! "A short, sharp shock," as Francis Urquhart or Tim Stamper would say, just the thing to get people's attention. Pure genius. Bravo, you wily Dutch bastards!

...and Death
Michigan's most famous physician is free: suicide machinelink. My only question is this: now that Dr. Kevorkian is himself terminally ill, will he have the courage to hook himself up to his infamous suicide machine, or in the end will he reveal himself to be a craven publicity-seeker and murderer?

I like the juxtaposition here. The Big Donor Show is a desperate, macabre attempt to preserve life. Jack Kevorkian's life's work has been a desperate, macabre mission to induce death.
