No, not the way they/we abuse people in these shows.

Octomom is pushing the envelope, now they're pandering
to another class of voyeurs.

Ew. Yeah, makes me feel a mite queasy as well.

I'm reminded of one of my great-grandmother's favorite sayings: "Some things are nobody's business." Surely there must be a middle way between hiding dying people away so others don't have to acknowledge illness and death, and exploiting them on reality TV.

...I think I just figured out why someone would agree to go on this show. How much are they paying the terminally ill people? Considering the high cost of medical care, I can understand somebody looking at it and deciding "I will sacrifice my privacy and dignity during my last days so that after I'm gone my loved ones won't have such a huge financial burden."

Which makes it feel even dirtier, morally.
