would press a button that would kill a random person if it caused a charity of your choice to be donated $1,000,000,000?
(please don't post here, I'll explain why after the poll runs out of time)

okay, I have the results I wanted.
In the beginning, I asked whether community members would have a machine kill a random person in return for 1*109 dollars.
6 people said yes, 10 people said no.
later I asked community members whether they would have a machine kill a random person in return for 1*109 dollars given to a charity of their choice.
0 people said yes 3 people said no.
discuss.

... I'm going to have to say the error value in this survey is pretty darn high.

it probably is, but there weren't that many people who voted, so I took what  I could.

3/16 people voted in the second poll. I would assume 0/6 people who voted yes in the first poll voted in the second poll. (9/15*9/15=36% chance from the knowledge I have)
I can confirm voting no both times.

Furthermore, new people might have voted.
