I would ask the proposed victim to pay me £99,999.99 not to press it (if I could)...
But if not, I'd take my chances and press it anyway
Show me the money

What would you do now?
That's a good point mate. This exact scenario was used in an episode of the twilight zone (must be about 15 years ago now!) and the guy pressed it, got his money and was then told he would be the next guy to die in the chain....

So what most people are saying is that they would murder a stranger for £100k.

Nice

Does anyone else have a button the same? if no and I am the only person to have a button there is no chance that anyone I know will get zapped as we are all on the same side of the world. So yep I would press it as I would never know who or where the person bit the bullet. FWIF you may be doing the persona favour as he may be termianlly ill or summat and just waiting to die anyway, so you have just put him out of his misery.

Would I be able to pick the person to die and can I watch?

Politian's make decisions everyday that may lead to people dying and they do it for nothing.
Well probably not everyday.

Yeah id press it a good 239823123 times, theres only so many people on the other side of the world, so after a while I would just be getting guilt free money because there wud be no one to kill, so I would then give the guilt free money to charity, which then outweighs the guilt of committing 289347234 muders
