hallucinates

18.1 - If you were given a box with a button to push, and offered a large sum of money, the price being someone you don't know dies, would you push the button?

Now that would depend on a number of variables.

I know, I know, there are probably plenty of cynical critcs assuming my answer is an immediate yes. Idiots. If this were years ago, back in the colonies, well, maybe then. But what good is a large sum of money going to do me in my current position? None whatsoever. I'm already as comfortable as I'm going to be in terms of things that money can buy - my problems aren't going to be solved by buying off the Cylons.

If this were in a time when money actually served some real value to me personally, well then, I suppose it would also depend on whether or not the death of this person could ever be traced back to me. I really don't need that kind of personal scandal on ~~top of all the other ones.~~ my head. If anonymity were secured, then why not? People die every day, who's to say it wouldn't be someone who's time is up anyways? It isn't as if I were putting a gun to their head and pulling the trigger myself.

~~Except I know that you don't have to kill someone firsthand in order to feel the guilt of it firsthand.~~
