You're playing with others lives carelessly if you choose to push that button, which is in direct conflict with psychology,where the primary aim is to eleviate the troubles of others. One has to have a profound love for the preciousness and astonishing variety and beauty found in life to pursue a career like that. But sure that applies to humanity too. We'd be still sleeping in our own faeces if it wasn't for our humanity.
