Right to die or is it Rights to death…

India would not have heard of one Jade Goody hadn’t it been for a Shilpa Shetty who shot to fame literally crying foul on Goody. In fact she attained greater fame than all her bollywood flicks put together after crying her way to fame in the reality show Big Brother.

This small (big) time reality star is going through a personal tragedy and she continues to look at it through the reality eye. The concept of reality entertainment reached the abyss for all reasons when Jade Goody suffering from a terminal illness announced that she would sell the rights to her wedding, the last days of her life and even the rights to her death, Death for sale!!! Unfathomable!!! She has since retracted on the same. But there’s never supply without demand, it might be true that Goody wanted to sell but the fact that people were around to buy the rights to her death or even negotiate it for a sum… is rather appalling. Has the human race become a bunch of predators? Predators that would go any length to nourish on sleaze, privacy and gossip.

She has defended her actions by saying that she was securing the future of her sons with the revenue out of some real time show of suffering. She has in fact dehumanised herself and made a mockery of Life, Death and even the Creator.

O death where is thy sting!!!
