I just got back from my mum's where we watched the documentary.

I think that the way Aussie TV treated the matter, making Sue out to be some sort of brainwashed loon, probably has done you a favour in the context of this documentary. It was obvious that Sue was nothing of the sort, and her comments that policemen and firemen take the risk of creating a parentless child and no-one thinks badly of them, definitely showed how inherently sensible she was.

I wanted to throw my shoes at the telly when Dr Laura Nash (from Harvard BUSINESS, I note) spoke of the 'fantasy of heroic altruism'.

I felt it sucked that no time was given for fully explaining the basis of your beliefs.

My overwhelming impressions were: Jon and Dave have a serious personality clash that biased both sides...Jon admits 'I really don't like him'.

Dave does unfortunately come across like a cult leader. But bizarrely enough, none of the people in the group donating kidneys or being interviewed came across as brainwashed cult members. People have a real problem understanding the idea people can be truly altruistic. But no real surprise there.
