Tell me about it. Your's had more entertainment potential.

of course if there's an afterlife...
Yep, you seem to be in the minority on this one. I took button two. If button one was for someone I didn't know, sure I could say screw 'em, do it for the team. Could you really do it to a loved one? Unless you're prepared to be the hero yourself, there is less guilt with button 2. Plus I think there are too many people, we're headed for a correction factor anyway.

Why even give this kind of hypothetical nonsense a second thought?

Loinburger - does this answer your question?
