Jokes aside, no. I don't think I'd do it for $100 million. I seriously don't.

The justifications y'all are providing don't work for me. Maybe it's because I have a son, and I can imagine he would be the one to die, then I remember everyone is the child of someone, or the friend, etc.

I will not be the knowing cause of the death of some random person just for money. You guys can have it. No, thank you.

    You could save way more than 1 life with $100M. Malaria nets save on average one life for every $3k donated. Child deworming doesn't save a life per se, but you can stop a child from being permanently disabled for ~$500.

    Sacrificing a person in order to help a number of people survive for a month or a year is still a terribly bad calculation if you ask me

    Im the same way. If someone gave me a gun and gave me a choice to shoot myself or a stranger, I would shoot myself.

    Mostly because I believe what we do matters. Many dont.

    $100 million brings you into a different philosophical debate. $100 million is more than enough that you could use the money to save at least a few lives
