Yes I would push the button. Are you serious for 1 million dollars and I don't know the person the money mine . I would just hope that the person isn't someone in my family or important like the president then that's something I have to live with. Chris Jones. Writing Prompt.
ReplyDeleteSomeone in the world would die? People die all the time. Its just life. So if thats what you mean, then yes. But if you mean someone would die because of it, no. I'm not God; its not in my power to decide if someone should die or not. Ending someone's life to fund yours is selfish beyond belief. You may not know the person, but others in the world do and that person could be important in so many ways-what if they were meant to change the world? Discover a cure for cancer? Change someone else's life for the better?
ReplyDeleteIf i had a chance to get 1 million dolllars by pressing a button but 1 person would die, i think i would probably wouldn't do it or i would with out thinkin about the simply fact that the person that will die will probably be me or someone i love, and i'm not saying i wouldn't care if that person wasn't imporantant to me i wouldn't care i would because i would be rich because that peson died.

No i would not push the button, because if someone that mean something to me was to die i would feel very bad. and i would wish that i could take it back, it just wouldnt be right. but dont get me wrong, i would love to have 1 million dollars in my pocket, but it just wouldnt be worth it!if i was to push the button, and got the money every time i would go to spend the money i would think about that 1 person i killed over 1 million dollars. i would probably be so depressed and confused. just know i would never take money over a person life, no matter how much money it is, because what if someone else had the decision, and they took the money and i died, i wouldnt even know the reason i died. to some this up i would never do anything to heart someone over money, i wouldnt even no what to spend it on.
i would push the button because people die every die so if just one extra person dies what would make a difference and its a chance that i may not know the person

ReplyDeleteI would push that button because it could somebody who has cancer. That might not have made in the first place. I would push that button so could improve my life. I would still be the same. Even though I would be a millionaire, You would not stop seeing my homeboys. I would give 2,000 dollars to the charity. I would give my family some money. Everything else I would use for my self. People may think I am wrong for that, but I would not care because if they would have that chanceto get a million dallors they would do the same thing. I said woul take it because to me I need a million dollars to help other people and myself.

ReplyDeleteIf i had a choice to puch a button and cause one person to die i would not accept the offer. i would not accept that offer because i might not be able to live with myself. I would also say no because i wouldn't want someone to do me that way and it might be someone i love or care much about.
No I would not kill anybody for a million because if I killed some body it wouldnt be worth it because when I do kill them I would be in jail and I wouldnt get to get the 1 million. So no I would not get the million.

ReplyDeleteQuestion or morality - If you would get $ million to push a button, but this button would mean that 1 person would die would you push the button? Tell why or why not?
ReplyDeleteNo, I wouldn't push the button if it meant that 1 person would die. Because a person life is important than money. A person losing their life is not worth getting $1 million dollars.
no, i wouldnt push the button because no amount of money is worth killing someone.And you can always get $1million by working hard but you can never replace a life.
ReplyDeleteRodney polk
ReplyDeleteI would not push it because money is not important as somebody's life. That is very dumb pushing a button to lose somebody life that is so stupid just for some money.
No i would not push the button because of no one life is worth taken over money. if that was the person that finna get the million dollars and i was the person finna get killed i would not want them to kill me i would want them to know who i was so they would know i had saved them and i woudlnt kill anyone for a million dollars.
