If there are people willing to front the money
for her to make this documentary, then why the hell shouldn't she make it?
That's not to say I'm going to watch it - the same way that I wouldn't watch any of the fly-on-the-wall documentaries about her life pre-cancer, or a Jordan and Peter wedding special...
The fact is that a lot of people will watch this. Whether they be the Heat/Hello readers after something to gossip about after Corrie has finished, or people who've taken a genuine interest in how terminal illness affects a family, huge numbers are going to tune in to watch her final moments.
As the article rightly points out, whether we like her or not, she is bringing to the attention of the media and public at large, the necessity for screening etc and that in itself has to be commended.
I'm of the opinion that Jade Goody is a fucking spack simply because she has caused so much public offence on several occasions and doesn't seem to learn from her mistakes. The making of the film in no way redeems her for events past, but we can at least say she has (or will have) had at least one positive impact from being a public figure.
