That's not very realistic though, is it? The button is actually very sturdy and impossible to break.

This button should be on tv

I know, recently I have just got a little detached from everything, I need to get back in reality. I have lost my love for people.

Doesn't mean I can't feel empathy for anyone else, that's just silly.

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.

I understand, but you can rekindle that spark and connection with life very easily. Those group meetings might be a good option for you. Like minded people who need support.

Leave Jesus out of this please. I know his birthday is coming up, but I don't want this turning into a religious debate.

I have plenty of love for the preciousness and variety and beauty in life thank you very much! And I do plenty in my life to alleviate the troubles of others already, so I'm far from a cold heartless bitch like you are making out. But if I'm headed to hell for saying I would take a miniscule risk of a total stranger dying when I could get the money to be able to take care of my own family and alleviate a lot of their suffering then so be it. I'm a selfish bitch.

I'm not calling you cold hearted here. We're having a discussion that's all and I find it fascinating that a lot of you would risk the lives of others for a bit of material gain. Miniscule or not, you're still gambling here and it's not on the horses and, unlike with them you'll never know if you killed or not, right? That would stay with me to my grave.

I think if the situation was different and it was guaranteed someone would die with each push of the button, people would reconsider. 1/10,000 is VERY slim.

That's probably why they'd do you the world of good.

Definitely. If it was 1/100 I probably wouldn't do it tbh. It's simply because the risk is SO miniscule.

I'm not saying it wouldn't always be on my conscience, especially if you DID find out whether you had killed someone or not. But for me the risk would be worth it if it meant being financially secure for life and being able to alleviate the suffering of people I am close to. I just put the people closest to me first is all, same as most other people I would imagine. I might be wrong, the guilt might totally **** me up but then that would be for me to live with right?

1/10,000 chance one of your closest relatives or partner will die everytime you press it.

1/3 will get Cancer..

Fantastic odds, i will press it!
