I will give you 1,000,000,000 in cash {Experiment}

[miki77miki]

Here's the deal.

I have $1,000,000,000 I don't need. But I need someone dead. You will NOT be caught. The person you kill
you will never know. They live on the other side of the planet. You will never know a thing about them.
Whether they were an upstanding citizen, child molester or serial rapist. You won't even know if they really
died.

But I'm going to give you a black remote control with a small red button.

When you press that button, that person will die, and you will get the $1,000,000,000 cash.

Will you press the button?

I'd be lying if I said I'm not tempted. but, hypothetically, if I was going to do that, I'm going to need a proof that you own that much money. 

btw, is politics/society the right section for this?

It's sort of a question about our society in general. You think it's better in off topic?

[M28MmickT]

I'd push the button, then donate 75% to a mix of Non Profits that help others out.

Like the Kids Wish Network? Raising millions of dollars in donations in the name of dying children and their families - and every year, it spends less than 3 cents on the dollar helping kids.

I'm in no way attacking you, to be clear; nothing at all wrong with such moral standpoints.  Just saying, heavy research is necessary when donating to such causes. 

I'm not even going to start with NGOs...

Norma and Arthur Lewis, a suburban couple with a young child, receive a simple wooden box as a gift, which bears fatal and irrevocable consequences. A mysterious stranger delivers the message that the box promises to bestow upon its owner $1 million with the press of a button. However, pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world, someone they don't know. With just 24 hours to have the box in their possession, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the cross-hairs of a startling moral dilemma and must face the true nature of their humanity.

The box bearer...

life is more important than anything, i will sacrifice anything to keep him alive
because im humant not robot

[Zorrocoin]

Bro i won't take a life.

[HarHarHar9965]

What if a certain person presses the button for that kind of money, and the person which is supposed to die is the guy who presses the button. Wouldn't that be an interesting turn. A test of God. A play of the devil.

[bitbunnny]

Many people would do that with no question asked

[teddy5145]

I will spam that button until the one who gave me that remote's dead 
Is this supposed to be serious question or just for fun question?

[harizen]

I will post that button. No hesitation. No reasons at all.

Interesting take, almost sounds like a plot to a movie doesn't it

[neoneros]

It reminds me of the movie 13 sins, you get a call that asks you to do a simple thing, swat a fly, then presto you earned some money. Then the story evolves, the stakes rise and you cannot quit, they get entangled and it all ends up horribly wrong.

A number that big? Tempting, but what if it was a sibbling? I could not live with the thought I killed my own child. Too many unknown factors in this proposition. The only certainty is that it would not be me. And the ever nagging guilt, the burdon you will have to carry the rest of your life. Money and possesions are not what matters in life, life itself is what matters, that's why it is called 'life' and not 'money'. You ask eachother, 'how's life?' Not 'How's money?'

So no, I would not for a billion dollars press that button. But I am affraid that is the rational me talking, and a lot of people would not even blink twice before pressing it.

[bryant.coleman]

1 billion USD will save thousands of lives, in third world countries such as Moldova and North Korea. So I'll take the money, kill the target, and use the money to buy food for the starving people around the world.

Yes, I'll press the button and bring the money. I'll invest part of them for myself, I'll send 20% to his family and with the other part I'll donate to help research against cancer and other illnesses.
