Another Question: With the box there is a one in 6 billion chance that the person you off is yourself, virtually zero. Say the chances of yourself dying increase, and let's remove the other people dying part, no one can die but yourself.

Would you press a button that would give you $10 million, but 1% of the time, you would die? What about $100 million dollars, but you would die 10% of the time?

If you'd take $10 million and risk the 1% chance of dying, what money amount would be too little for you to do the deal at a 1% chance of dying?
