    Default You walk into a room and there is a shiny red button

    Your instructions are: Push the button and you get 1 million dollars. You can push the button as many times you want.

    Here's THE CATCH: every time you push that button someone some where in the world dies. You may or may not know that person so all that matters is whether or not you push the button.

    Would you push it?

    It is but also sounds like a fun social experiment.

    My thought would be that maybe the button is hooked up to some explosives and I will be the one who will die.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Will other people get to push the same button? Haha, if I was the only one offered the chance and no one would find out. Yes!

    The odds are good.

    I'd push it, again and again, the odds are great...

    and if you think about it this way, you get millions of dollars and say you invest that into research, you could potentially save more than you kill, on the long run.

    or how about this, if you don't push the button then you won't die if someone else comes along and push the shiny red button
