moral question of the day
if you were given a button, and were told if you press it you will recieve one hundred thousand tax free pounds.......but some random guy on the other side of the world will drop dead......would you?
all you are told about the guy is that he is a he and an adult.
i saw this on another car forum and wondered if scooby drivers were greedier or not

Yep, everyone dies eventually, some sooner than others. Its down to fate:
Fate decided that some guy in america would die after I pressed the "Gib Money Keke!" button

No!
Definitely not!
If I was going to murder someone for money, I'd make damn sure nobody else was a witness to it. And since I didn't rig up the button, I wouldn't know for sure I wasn't being watched and potentially blackmailed / stitched up in the future.
No doesn't sound much like the moral high ground any more does it

Id like to add a little twist...
If you pressed the button, you would get your money BUT....
You would then be in the position of being "the other guy" to the next contestant.
Giving you a 50/50 chance of being able to spend the money.
What would you do now?

I said yes, but only on the basis that most people have access to the 'button' therfore making lots of rich people but reducing the population nicely, but knowing my luck, id be the fiirst person 'dead' on the first press
