The Red Button.

[War Penguin]

The key.
I love my family and they've gone through enough.

 

[JRCB]

I'd take the key. I don't want anyone to die for my own greed.

P.S. please don't poke me.

 

[Dr.Sean]

Does the button look at all like an X?

 

[Lucky|Gamer]

I'd be skeptical of the whole thing. If it's possible to just kill one person at the touch of a button, obviously reality is not what it initially seemed, and maybe stupid things like karma and heaven actually do exist...
On the other hand, people die all the time. The death of your parents is already pretty much guaranteed in life, but so rarely do we acquire wealth without wasting heaps of time and effort. The only thing better than being wealthy is being wealthy while you're still young. I think I'd push it.

You think killing a person with the press of a button is far-fetched. Ever heard of a ICBM? Or an Automated turret pointing at a restrained, confused, doomed family member? Considering that it is a gamble that you would cause a actually beloved family member (which seems a far-fetched pipe dream to most Escapists) is not a gamble worth taking. I would take the key. Though if they die, legally it isn't your fault, it is the man with the briefcase. The worst you could be charged with is conspiracy/manslaughter (with is accidental murder, I believe)

 

[Ghadente]

"you're an evil s.o.b." if you press that button. you greedy prick.

 

[Aqualung]

Key. I don't like too much money, anyway.

 

[WolfThomas]

IT'S A TRAP!

 

[AvsJoe]

Spoiler: Good Film

Dammit! Ninja'd. Great little film. Didn't see the end coming at all.

 

[zen5887]

Yeah, when I read the OP I was like "I know how this game is played.. I am getting the hell out of there"

So yeah, I know how this game is played.. I am getting the hell out of there.

 

[A Weary Exile]

Well my family is full of drunks, assholes, and people who are at the end of their line anyway so I'd take the money.

 

[Chrissyluky]

key definitly take the key.

 

[Guy32]

The key, but I'm pretty well off. If I was poorer it would be more difficult.

 

[Arcticflame]

Honestly, I wouldn't.

I value my morals more than tons of cash, a new car and a new house.
This isn't to say I dont want those things, just that I am a very happy person now, I don't need those things to be happy, so I would just end up having a bad conscience.

It would reduce my quality of life to hit the button, therefore I wouldn't.

 

[Juraz]

Money to save generations of my family for one member its a just cause.

 

[Deadarm]

Does it have to be a RANDOM family member?
Either way I'd press the button just out of curiosity.

edit
I would also probably press it because of the chance that it could be a select 1 of the 2 family members who have caused my family nothing but trouble.

edit again
I have reached the conclusion that it is a lie and if you press the button you die because you chose to sacrifice a member of your family.

I have few morals, betrayal isn't one of them so long as nobody finds out.
Secondly my quality of life would improve by 1 less annoyance.
