It's an old moral quandry. You are shown a button and told that if you press it, someone you've never met will die but you will recieve a million quid.

How very utilitarian of you.

Out of curiosity, how many innocent people would you be prepared to kill in the name of the greater good?

Anyhow, one would have thought you'd have learned from the past 30 years that aid money is a waste of time. :-)

Fair thought. If I pressed it 103 times, I could buy a spectre gunship & go and make a start on the Janjaweed militias.
