Yes I feel there's a suspicion that the writers/programme makers may indeed be using this very sensitive issue as a publicity magnet to draw attention to the show.
On the other side of the scales there is also the argument that they may actually be taking the opportunity to bring the matter to the attention of a subset of society whos life revolves around soap operas and are generally of touch with what is happening in the real world.
