I think this was on LW already... But I'll post it again:
There is a button in front of you. If you press the button, you get everything you ever wanted. But, a person somewhere in the world dies when you press it. So, do you press the button?

Edit: There is no way to save that person.

Yeah. To get what you want someone loses something anyway.

Yes. There are too many people on Earth for our selfishness to adequately support. Since the button gives you everything you want, no-one you love will die.

Unless you want death

Actually, it's confusing. What do you want?

No, mostly because I'm kind of scared of some of the stuff I want...

I remember reading this story once, where if you push a button you'll get anything you want, as long as someone you don't know dies. And after a long development, the name character loses her husband, and she starts crying. She calls the guy and says you lied, and the guy says, "Did you really thought you knew your husband?" Yeah.

No. It would be impossible for me to get everything I want anyway, because I wouldn't want my conscious to be burdened with a selfish murder, which is selfish in itself, I suppose..

Nah. I already know how to live without the thing I was wanting so there would be no loss if I didn't press the button.

I'd support the decision to push the button (theory of experience), but wouldn't myself, because there's no point in living if I don't have to work for what I want.

Essentially, would you kill to get what you want? No.

NO:
We destroy.  We kill.  We say its utterly human (or animal) to do so.  But we condemn people for doing so.

But when it becomes our turn to make that choice: between suffering of others and our own--though we'd like to choose ourselves, our morality (or whatever it is) tells us NO.  Maybe we're all murderers; it's just a matter of keeping it in.

No, I wouldn't push the button.

I don't even know what I want, but I'm sure it's not worth a life.
