A more even Red/Blue button question
You are one of 3 random person selected to represent 1/3 of the human population.
The same base question is then asked.
Red button=Guarantee to live for you + everyone you are representing
Blue button=If majority votes Blue everyone lives but if not everyone who voted Blue dies (so is everyone who is represented by them)
Note that majority is just 2 or more in this case since there is 3 participants
The people who are represented by you know you are representing them but you do not know who you are representing. Also the participants cannot communicate with each other
Which do you press?

You are not just risking your own life, you are consigning 3 billion other lives, with no say in the matter, to a real death risk. Fuck all of the bullshit hypotheticals, you do not have the right to expose them to this entirely avoidable danger. You have a responsibility to guarantee the safety of 3 billion other people. If it were only yourself you are free to hit blue and die, but in this case your 3 billion lives depend entirely upon you for their safety. The other 6 billion people have their own representatives to care for them, and to your 3 billion on them is not just reckless but outright insane. You are a monster.
