People would do horrible things when they're hidden an anonymous way without their true selves being exposed.

People are cunts, shock of the century!

Would I? Hell no! A good nights sleep and as clean as conscience as possible is priceless.

I do believe 66 percent or more people would happily do it if they could a) get away with it legally and b) if they couldn't be identified or shamed - hell, put that figure up to the mid-eighties.

I answered nicely, and the percentage was now 59. Maybe the sample size is low.

Who would believe pressing a button killed someone unless the situation was set up for that, like in some dystopian prison or offered to tgem by kidnappers with machine guns?

I wouldn't accept that button either. What if it kills your loved ones and one closest to you? Would any money worth it?

Still won't accept. Unless I can control who it kills and It would be one of my worst of the worst enemies like in the Japanese anime Death Note.
I would do it if the box indicate that it would kill Kim Jung Un, the dictator of North Korea.
