    By not pushing the button we are just delaying this person's death. I mean the way you are speaking all these poor people are fucked anyway. Considering most of the world is made of up poor people then we should be pushing the button??? I mean we start a program where we help family's adopt kids from these countries and BAM now they are saved. That is unless you still say this is just delaying there death which is what we do anyway when we don't push the button.

    I mean basically we are so fucking insignificant I don't know why so many of you care about 1 life. If the whole planet exploded tomorrow it would mean absolutely NOTHING to the rest of the universe so how does one life mean anything? Okay so gaining 40 million$ means nothing either but the good you could do is going to be > that one life. I mean there might even be some people in first world countries who would give up their life if they knew it would do a lot of good. I'm assuming most people in poor countries would give up their life if there was some chance it would save their friends or people in a similar situation as them so then why aren't we pushing the button?

    I'm assuming the money is coming from no where. If we were taking it from another person then it might not be worth because they can probably handle it better.

    Also how do we know if we don't push the button that they might make the next guy the exact same offer?

    edit: After thinking about it in the shower and feeling sick about it I don't think I could do it. I still think my argument is valid for someone who wants to do it though.
