The dilemma is "would you push a button for money" not "would you push a button knowing what it did for money"

    "Would you push a button for money", on its own, is barely a dilemma. If you've been given no good reason not to press it then you don't have a reason not to press it. I'd be curious to see this Twilight Zone episode because, if it really is presented that way to her, then it's not her morals that are comprimised and instead that of whoever distributed that button.

    She's told that someone on earth would die and she doesn't know them. The twist is that while it's implied that it's a random person, it's revealed at the end that it's the last person to press the button.
