Question: If there was a button placed in front of you that would automatically make you one billion dollars richer if you pressed it, but at the same time would kill say some obscure African already dying of AIDS somewhere in Africa, would you: 1) Press it immediately... 2) Never even think for a moment of pressing it... 3) Think for awhile and try justifying it before pressing it...

I would take 3... not that there is much to think about.
If that person is already dying and suffering, you could be helping that person out. A billion dollars can be used by you, and much donations to very important researches, such as the cure for AIDS. Plus maybe that person's family could use a little financial help. A billion dollars is a lot of money if it's there to be used.

Secondly.....I'd be thinking of how many other people I could help with the billion dollars
Difficult decision but helping 1000's of orphaned children would make it justified
Still wouldn't be an easy thing to do though
WOW, Libs never seem to surprise me.... you guys always say us Christians are trying to play GOD but it is YOU guys who want control over who lives and who dies.... and beleive some people's lives are more important than anothers.
Then scream discrimination to anyones opinions that do not agree with your own and/or call them hatefull...

Look, that button you have in front of you, it does neither give you a billion nor kill anyone anywhere. It turns on the washing machine. You should have asked the missus before she out after the separation.
sambhava: Simply that I have a follow up question depending on how you answer...
Your follow up question is going to just going to compare(probably what the US is doing somewhere, to that situation.... saying it is the same thing blah blah blah...
