If you could press a button and receive a million dollars, but one stranger would die, would you press the button? And if so, how many times?

I started watching this film late the other night but had to leave it because i was so tired. I got to the bit where the couple pressed the button, got the money and then got the box and photo in the Christmas draw. Thats when I flagged.

How did it end?
@Ironicman I don't know, are you referring to ' the box ' movie? Cause I haven't seen it yet. Though when I asked this somewhere else .. someone said watch the film ' The box ', is that the one you've seen? And someone else informed me that in the 60's there was a psychological experiment called ' the Milgram experiment ' that measured something similar to this premise.. carried out to determine if people would hurt other people for an authority figure. Even when that went against the person's conscience, it measured how far , how much harm or pain that person would inflect in such a circumstance! And he added that this experiment gets referenced a lot when discussing things like obedience to a cult , religious , or political figures.
