Dragons’ Den and bad taste investment

I’ve just read in the paper that a company part owned by Deborah Meaden and Peter Jones have produced a tv show that features a replica of The Elephant Man, Joseph Merrick, being dissected.
It sounds absolutely hideous !
I’m not criticising them for the investment, because I’m sure they can’t be held personally responsible for every action that the company engages in, but I think the person who thought up the idea is pretty monstrous.
How horrible that someone born with such a terrible disfigurement is still being abused even after they are long dead.
These people that make foul and disgusting programmes, such as all these Autopsy on famous figures ones, seem to be completely beyond the pale of human decency.
How sad that such low subject matters are so popular on tv nowadays.
What do you think ?
