So you'll just take the chance that it's not a woman who has dedicated her life to helping children stay off the streets and giving them a better life?

What if I push the button and it kills your mom, or your dad? They are random people to me. But that would affect you and a lot of other people wouldn't it?

No, I would not press the button, that would weigh on my conscious forever, I'd be responsible for the death of a fellow human being.

I agree, there are too many selfish people in this world (not directing this at anyone). A lot of people here are saying, as long as it's no one I knew, then I would press it. But what about the friends and family of the person who you killed? What if someone else pressed it, and killed your mother, or son/daugther? Would you be angry at them for pressing it? Imo you can't put a price on someones life.

Are you both that narrow minded? Push button, give to charity and save >1000 lives. Is one life worth more than 1000 lives? If you had a choice, kill one person or kill 1000 people which would it be? What about kill yourself or kill a million?

Not everyone said they'd use the money for themselves..

plus there's the chance you kill someone like osama bin ladin or some shit.

money changes people, you guys think you'd give to charity and be nice with your money? Horseshit, money makes you arrogant and greedy if you didn't earn it. Hand a man a billion dollars and he'll be buying a mansion and a yacht. Next thing you know hes broke.

i really don't know if i would press it or not. 1,000,000$ is a lot of money, don't know how that offer (if were really serious) would affect me, never been in that position before.

off topic-

In all honesty, If I was to rule the world I would:
- Kill people with Low I.Q.
- Kill Non-contributing/lazy/idiotic/waste of life 'retards/people'.
- Kill low athletic people.
- Religion.

Basically, it's taking only the cream of the crop, the best of the best, to cherry pick people. It would be an idealistic world filled with only elites, a world rid of idiots.

The real thing you need to consider is:

What if someone else pressed the button and you were the one to die because of them?

That being said, yes, I would spam that button then write it off in my conscience as a random act of nature that killed whoever happened to be killed by my pressing that button.

i saw that movie... it was weird as hell
that guy without half a face was struck by a lightning and became gods servant or something like that and god told him to test human beings to see if they are greedy
he does that box shit and cameron diaz's dumbass pushes the button and some husband somewhere shoots his wife so his daughter can see again (god powers bring her sight back cuz the mom dies) then the same shit happens to cameron diaz and her kid... cameron chooses her sons sight over her life so the next person who is given the box pushes it too so cameron diaz gets killed by her husband so her son can see again and it happens again and again to different people cuz their too greedy and they like their buttons pushed

lol I'd spam the button till it broke. Really it just a simple question one person dies if you push the button, you get 1 million, yes or no, theres no need for all this insight into your inner mind/morality/right or wrong no one's asking for some justification of your action, would you do it or not? Very simple, no need for some big discussion...
@Exsoldier I knew the ending to that movie from a mile away, Hollywood is too predictable.
