from my experience as a transplant recipient, i think this is abhorent. i think it is great the woman is donating, however she could just do it anomynously like everyone else. and how will the people who donot receive the donation feel when they get kicked of the show. they get given some hope and then have it crushed and in a fatal way because some of these contestants will die without ever receiving a transplant. i sure they don't actually do all of the workup tests and make sure everyone is a match aswell so it is pointless for most of those people aswell. this woman may as well not donate an organ because she will be crushing the spirits of more people she saves. however the drugs used to supress the immune system do have side effects of depression, weight gain, hair growth and some of the drugs also adversely affect the kidney if not balanced out with another drug.
