To say that the producers are exploiting the women would be to imply that because of their disabilities, these women are less able to make their own decisions or are somehow powerless by virtue of their physical limitations, a sentiment I doubt they would appreciate.

whether or not the producers may be trying to exploit the "freak show" aspect is irrelevant, i think. it really all depends on how the show is interpreted by its viewers who, in turn, are influenced largely by media treatment of the shows they watch. i'm sure the producers would probably rather the show be seen as a source of inspiration and education but their primary concern is more likely that the show be seen period. hopefully they won't have to resort to low-road advertising schemes to attract viewers.
