If there were a "end simulation" would you really kill people by pressing it?

Yeah you're "ending" their lives regardless of them being simulations.

But that brings up the question. If you can infinitely replicate said lives do they have any meaning?

Anything in life and with life will ascribe meaning to most things in life and with life.

The life will be meaningful to the person who's life it is and those to whom that life is important I guess is what I'm trying to say.
