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.

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.
