Well ******** over someone is entirely different to murdering someone in cold blood hun. I mean, we didn't develop a conscience just for the craic like. It's helped us create the world we now live in.

I'd push it once if there was a 1/10,000 chance a close relative would die.
I'd also only push it once if there was a 1/10,000 chance someone I don't know would die. One million is enough for me, I wouldn't take someone's life for another million.

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.

Haha, nah the movie didn't even come to mind till Shaun mentioned it.

Glad people are being honest. Some of us too selfish and greedy not to press it. It's human nature.

So you only want to kill off one person... how very noble of you.

Just think of it from the point of view that if we were all asked that question and all or most thought like you - that could put your loved ones at considerable risk - as to the vast majority of people - your loved ones would be among those they didn't know or care about! Wouldn't be so appealing then!

The money is right, so it would be Rock n Roll all the way for me. About 15 million would do

Ah but she has no really power to give and take life anymore, and you need the added motivation of material gain. Power, greed and ruthlessness = US goverment baby or any government really for that matter, but they're the ones doing the most killing out of the western world I suppose.

It's not that bad!
I'd feel guilty if I killed two but not one for some reason.

It's not a huge risk though is it on those odds, especially if you're only pushing the button the once, which I would. I admit it's selfish, but like Enid I admit I'm selfish and I'd want the money to look after myself and my loved ones. I don't really care about people I don't know tbh. Call me what you want, that's just the way I am. Charity begins at home with me I'm afraid.

What if a relative died though? You said you'd push it if a relative was at risk.

Would you still keep the money knowing a relative died because of it?

I probably wouldn't no. I'd only press it because of that 1/10,000 risk.

You could give them a right good send off though with that extra cash.
