I don't know if anyone has seen the movie The Box with Cameron Diaz, where a couple is given a box and offered one million dollars if they press the button on top. However once the button has been pushed someone, somewhere, will die.

Let's up the ante to fifty million. If you could have fifty million dollars just for pressing one button, but one person (somewhere in the world) would die because of it, would you do it?

To further qualify the question: you would not know who the person is, what happened to them, or ever hear news of their death.

50 million, yikes that would be very tempting, maybe I could soothe my conscience by using most of the money to help save peoples lives? Could I push the button, I really don't know.

My immediate reaction is to say NO but they better get that effin box away from me FAST because I don't know how long my morality would last with THAT much $$$ on the line.

IKR. I would resist pushing the button initially but that box couldn't stay in my eye shot, else somebody's eventually gonna parish.

Nope. I've always found it ironic how human lives are considered expendable but money, which is always being printed up and there's always going to be more of, is supposed to take precedence over human lives which are not replaceable.

I don't know if I could, I would have to be in the situation to really test it. I would hope I would not push that button.

Since I believe in karma, I won't even put it in the air what I'd do. If you could have $50,000,000 for just pressing a button, but one person (somewhere in the world) would die because of it, would you do it? 273237

I would love to say NO. I'm afraid of karma, the next person who pushes the box might kill me--- and no i didnt see the movie... so maybe i will go check it out.

but if i had $50million, would i care if i died? by the time the box killed me, i may have already traveled the world and bought the things i wanted LOL
