If you could press a button and receive a million dollars, but one stranger would die, would you press the button? And if so, how many times?
 
So dark :)

I wouldn't press the button, guilt is a terrible emotion and I wouldn't want to suffer from it for the rest of my days.
 
Can I get unlimited tries? I would be spamming that button and I'm not ashamed to admit it :mikeWazowski:

Maybe if i'm drunk i'd totally do it, somehow i'm robbing clean air everyday :P

maybe just once for building schools around here.

Same here!

Can I talk to the person and make a deal with them like I'd take care of their family for life or something?
 
No. I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the money knowing I had to kill someone to get it.
 
This is a nice question, it really gets my brain juices flowing lol. If I was offered a chance to get $1,000,000 by clicking a button but someone else would die, I would definitely have to consider my options. $1,000,000 is definitely a life changer and I would never have to work again for the rest of my life. However, if someone else was to die, my main concern would be who is going to die? This is a great question, that I really don't have a definite answer for.
 
The joys of random....

Press once and an evil fascist homphobe who likes beating up children and animals dies.

Press a second time and it's your mother.
 
I would press the button in hopes it kills all the bad people on earth!

It better not kill my family ?
 
I'd press the button. I'm good at compartmentalising things like this, so would be able to not think about it!

Well at least your honest.

I agree. I have guilt for minor things in the past and have finally overcome them. I can't imagine that magnitude of guilt carrying for your rest of your life.
 
Absolutely no way.

I wouldn't know what to do with the money - and I couldn't live with the guilt.

Maybe we can raise a glass of bubbly to the people that had to be sacrificed ? ?
