I was thinking about a movie preview.
Here was the idea: A couple is asked to push a button. Push it, and they recieve a ton of money- enough to set them for life.
The catch? Someone, somewhere in the world, dies because they pushed the button.
That is a toughie, i think it would depend, a bit on who the person is, for instance if they’re a serial killer who does not benifit society in anyway and is going to die via electric chair in a week, i might push the button.
… It depends on my mood. Heh, just kidding.
Well, I don’t think I would push the button. I don’t think I could stand and watch somebody (Even a random guy out there) die becouse of me getting money. I mean, even if it’s a serial killer, the guy would get his punishment anyway (Hopefully). And the family; Oh god, just think of it! The family would surely hate one if you pushed the button.
Nope. If you want money, get a job or have a Lucid dream about it or just pester your parents for pocket money
No material thing is worth the death of human being, no matter the status or nature of that person. No, I would not push the button. And I would think extremely little of the person who would.
Imagine someone of your friends or family is sick and you really need the money to heal them… would you trust the universe that they will heal and don’t push the botton or you don’t take any risk and push the button to save them and kill someone else.
I’d figure out another way to get the money. I always do.
But it’s stupid.To kill a man you don’t know to heal someone you know.
That guy is also someone’s family.
I hate the fact that you have to pay a lot of money for the hospital.
If you don’t, screw you.That’s evil.
My question is, what if your family was about to die of poverty, either way, someone dies. Would you inadvertantly kill a stranger to let a family member live, or not and watch your family member die?
Would you kill me and ruin my family’s lives to save your own? Could you live knowing you forced someone to die for you? Could your family live with having someone forcibly killed for them? If the button appeared before you, would you push it for the money?
It wouldn’t sound so ridiculous if you needed the money badly enough. But, all the same, exchanging any material thing for any life is not only selfish but immoral. Very immoral.
Just kidding. I would never do it because the man/woman you kill also has a familie. And imagine, if the person you’ll kill is someone you know, could you live with that? The thought that you killed someone…
