So you're saying that because I would take a 1/10,000 risk of somebody dying by me pressing a button ONCE, that I have ZERO empathy for anybody but myself and people I care about? And the question didn't offer the option of ME personally dying. Of course I value the people closest to me more than a perfect stranger, don't you?! That's only natural surely? Doesn't mean I can't feel empathy for anyone else, that's just silly.
