1) someone you do not know, some where in the world, dies.
2) you get 1 million, tax free, dollars.
There are 2 restrictions.
1) you can not discuss it ever with anyone but your spouse.
2) you only have 24 hours to decide.
This is a premise to a movie I am watching.
A million doesn't go far these days, so let's make it 10 million.
What would you do?

A friend of mine had a light switch that we never figured out what it was for.
It didn't work anything in or around his house.
It became a joke.
We made up a story about how, when you flipped it on, some where in the world, lights flickered.
Who knows what we were doing to the universe?

We have one of those switches too. We "think" it may have been to a pool filtration system. My grandparents apparently had a pool before I was born.
We also have wires in some kitchen cabinets that don't go anywhere. We removed them.
No telling what havoc we have caused.

Unless you are a murderer, this should be an easy enough decision.
IDK, you don't get your hands dirty & you don't even know who or when it happens. There is no connection. It is only a matter of your conscience & the knowledge that you placed your own greed over a human life.
I can say that in my early 20s I would have had to really wrestle with this question. I may have even pushed the button. I would never murder anyone in cold blood unless it was self defense.
We never really know what any of our actions set into motion.

I believe I saw it on Twilight Zone. The couple pushes the button and the man returns with money. they asked what then happens and he tells them the box will now go to someone they don't even know.

So, you could easily order a murder, but not do the deed yourself?

At one point? Yes. But there was only one name on that list.

In all seriousness, I don't think anyone would hands down say no without at least wondering if they could.

Not now no, but when I was younger I could have possibly rationalized it away. Someone was going to push that button & get a million dollars so why not me? Or maybe the person being killed was a bad person & deserved to die.
