I don't think I'd do it for any amount, what if that random person was a child? Not sure I could live with that
if I could choose the person and not be held to any consequences sure. otherwise without choice and zero consequence, no.
imagine if you were in the mirror looking deep into your soul, and fessing up to your mom.
Makes doing the right thing and say no, real easy.

Could get unlucky and the random person could be yourself...or your ATF SP or you could get lucky at get some child molesting priest
Yeah, but the odds of that are like 6 billion to one. You’d have to be really unlucky
I know that if you said "No", Mr. Beast would give you $100,000.

I wouldn't even spend time thinking about it for $10,000, as it wouldn't change my life in the least. For some people it could though, so I don't judge them. They could be homeless and on the verge of death, or need to pay for a loved one's medical treatment.
If it were $10 million, then I would begin to think about it. I could rationalize it by saying that there are millions of random deaths all the time. People dying in accidents, infections and disease, weather, war, etc. People die randomly all the time. And there's a good chance that the random person being killed won't be missed by society. Maybe that random person was a bad person such as a serial killer, pedophile, rapist, etc. Maybe they are very old and dying anyway, or suicidal and don't want to live anyway. Maybe that person would be kill someone, and you can prevent somone from being killed.
The odds of you killing anyone in your close circle is essentially zero. Tenmillion dollars would allow me to invest the money and live comfortably, and over the many years I could share my wealth wih many people to do good.
If there was a button that I could press to transfer 10 million dollars into my bank account, and somewhere someone in the world would randomly die, it would really make me think.
$100 millon and I'm sure I would eventually press it.

Not sure I could do it for any amount. I like to sleep at night, and look in the mirror when I wake up.
Was a time many years ago, I would fly to NY with $50-100 million in bearer bonds ( almost like cash) in a brief case. No body would have to die.
Years ago, I had to study various things. One being the difference between Morals and Ethics. And what principles might guide a person when faced with actual moral dilemmas.
Example two people drowning, you can only save one. Which would you save.
There’s test. One’s called the mom test. What would your mother say about your choice…Another is would you still do it, if it made the news the next day?

So far just under 20% would accept $10k if it mean someone died. I'm not going to judge these people, I don't know their circumstances. Everyone has a price applies to me, as I already indicated I'd most like accept the deal for $100 million.
Seriously, even the Twilight Zone episode with this charged more and that was generations back.I dont know what is worse. The fact that people are choosing yes, or the fact that they are choosing yes for fucking $10,000 bucks.

This moral dilemma is the Button, Button episode of The Twilight Zone, (1985):
I know the author of the original short story didn't like this version of the ending, but I prefer it.
