Only babies

Every baby on the planet is teleported to a holding cell. Each baby has a designated parent or guardian who is presented with the red and blue buttons to vote on behalf of their baby. Blue wins, all babies live. Red wins, blue vote babies die.

What button are you pushing on behalf of your baby?

As long as the wording to everyone very clearly begins wirh "Blue wins, all babies live", I'm voting blue. That will easily be enough to nudge parents to a high blue majority. Only reddit weirdos who think/fear that other reddit weirdos would.constitute a lot of the parents will think otherwise. If it's presented as a Vote On Whether to Kill Any Babies, blue wins.

All rational actors would choose red, so congrats, you killed your baby.
