If you press the button, all the people in the world with the bottom 1% of quality of life, instantly stop existing. All traces of them also disappear, and memories of them are erased from the minds of everyone still living.
Do you press the button?

Do they want to live? How bad is the bottom 1%? Bc that is still 75 million people which is insane. Surely it would still ruin other people’s lives too. Ima say no

No. You can't measure the quality of life. A clear "No" to the concept of euthanasia.

Is the death painless? Like the Thanos snap where everyone peacefully disintegrates? If so, then yes.

With the memory erasure aspect, is this specifically persons 'currently' living or erasure of lowest 1% from a historical timeline perspective? Seems that would have wild implications for humanity.

you don’t push the button because doing so doesn’t fix the reason why they were there in the first place. We need to learn what made them get into that situation and then work to correct things for everyone. Otherwise, others could simply take their place.
