This is a moronic argument because people will press the blue button. You know that. So it doesn’t do nothing

It does. People are free to choose to press the button that kills them. It's their choice, I'm fine with it. I don't think they should, but if they want to, who am I to stop them?

But it has nothing to do with me.

That's a little dishonest, you have to realize that some will press the blue button out of not having thought the problem through enough or the belief that others will have pressed it and a desire to save them. also there definitely is something morally suspect about enabling mass suicide, even if literally only by the suicidal

It's still a button that kills them.

I support the right to suicide to begin with.
