Big Brother votes death out

Big Brother votes death out : "'This is the great ethical value of Big Brother because it highlights dilemmas that are already there. It doesn't create them,' she said."

On the contrary. It creates them by arbitrating what is and is not allowed and what can and cannot happen. This is her father. She should be told. It is her decision. We are talking about the death of her father. That a television programme can filter information is not right. It's artificial and it completely denies the reality of her life. Completely denies that she is a human being with human ties. We have all discussed it and she does not know. It is her father. He is dead. She needs to be told and should have been able to see him and go to the funeral. This is not ethical value. It's death. Father. Emma's father. We know and she doesn't. It is wrong. In death you allow the people closest to be there. You allow them to be at the funeral and in death you inform all you think need to know. That is ethical. That is the value of life. Her life.Her father. Her decision.
