Jokes aside, no. I don’t think I’d do it for $100 million. I seriously don’t.
The justifications y’all are providing don’t work for me. Maybe it’s because I have a son, and I can imagine he would be the one to die, then I remember everyone is the child of someone, or the friend, etc.
I will not be the knowing cause of the death of some random person just for money. You guys can have it. No, thank you.
$100 million brings you into a different philosophical debate. $100 million is more than enough that you could use the money to save at least a few lives
You could save way more than 1 life with $100M. Malaria nets save on average one life for every $3k donated. Child deworming doesn’t save a life per se, but you can stop a child from being permanently disabled for ~$500.
I would in a heartbeat. I would keep 5k for myself, 10k for my parents. And donate the rest to cleaning up the environment, and curing cancer/diabetes. That would save more people.

Bro, for 100 million, if you told me the button would kill me, I would press it, after writing my will first.
That is almost world-chaning money, so I would be ethicaly obligated from my perspective to press it.
Im the same way. If someone gave me a gun and gave me a choice to shoot myself or a stranger, I would shoot myself.
Mostly because I believe what we do matters. Many dont.

If the whole 100M was spent on saving lives, no contest.
What if you just kept back $50 for a nice meal out? Is that meal cursed?
Yeah I’m not killing for money, even if I’m not the one doing the physical part of the execution

Sacrificing a person in order to help a number of people survive for a month or a year is still a terribly bad calculation if you ask me
Ok, then you are sacrificing number of people to save one person. Think of what happens in wars: people don’t even flinch at sacrificing someone

Still pennies compared to the damage we make to the environment any single day
