    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
