"The Box" What would you do?

[Timothy W.]

I went to see "The Box" last night. It was one of the better written screenplays I've seen in some time and while it wasn't a "scary" moving it was quite 'unnerving". The basic premise is that a couple in a perceived desperate situation are presented with a box with a large button on it. If they push the button, they get 1 million dollars....and someone they don't know dies.

What would you do if presented today's equivalent (it was set in 1976)?

Think about it - everyone dies. That's inevitable. You're not committing a crime. It's someone else who would be actively committing the act of killing....possibly. On the other hand you are ending a life for money and you do have to look at yourself for the rest of your life and know what you will be capable of doing for money. What's your decision?

No I couldn't in good conscious even consider doing that if it were real and I was in the same situation.

I have moral standards I live by money is one thing life is however more precious.
