Do you take the risk and press the button? If so, how many times? Or if not, what if the situation was different and only people who you didn't know could die instead?
Think about the situation carefully before answering please.

Have you just watched The Box or something Enid?
If it meant someone close to me dying then no I wouldn't risk it but if it was someone I didn't know then you know what I probably would. The odds of someone dying are pretty slim so hell yeah for the money I'd do it.
