I think a billion id take because you can save thousands and thousands of people
I could live with that choice. Maybe in the end I’d feel so guilty that I wouldn’t even use the money for myself at all.
Which is an interesting debate as well. How does your answer change if you can’t use that money for you or known people at all, and only “for good”. Do you feel less guilty?
As another commenter said it’s just a different version of the trolley problem

Yeah I thought about that but you can not trade one person’s life for a thousand others unless that person willingly participates. By logic this should also extend to me and my loved ones but ofcourse when it is someone closer to you whose life may be saved, you can probably no longer act objectively.
