Default Would you kill a complete stranger for 1 million?

There is no risk to you, the stranger did nothing to deserve to die, they are, let's say around your age, and of your gender and ethnicity. You will kill them in one of those wierd countries and it's done in a way that you'll be safe from prosecution.

I wouldn't do it. Then on rough days at work I'll beat myself up for foregoing the easy out.

No, you have to shoot them with a gun from about 30 feet away.

It could be, you don't know who it is before you agree to do it. You can't back out or they will kill you.

Oh, one other thing, as I debated my own answer, if you don't agree to do it, they don't look for anyone else to do it in your stead, they let the person live.

Is said stranger a hooker that I get to kill? If so, then...no, killing hookers is evil. Otherwise, certainly.

A stranger? Well, how strange is he? Just a little eccentric, or really bizarre?
