If you press the button, you instantly gain £1,000,000 and one random person on the Earth immediately dies painlessly. You are not lawfully accountable for the death and nobody will ever know that you did it. Would you press the button?
Inb4 button=awesome joke
Would you press the button?

Yes! But I'll press the button only if something awesome happens.
... and then I'll press again >.>
Edit: Ok, let me put it this way: "I would duct tape the button to keep it pressed"

I'd never do such a thing for money. And I'm not lying.

Push a button, get a heapload of dough and kill someone in the process?
Hell no! Kudos to anyone who can spend that money with a clear conscience.

No. I don't like having blood on my hand, even if it's someone I don't know and never saw.

If i could pick who it was then sure I would 
but if i cant then nope guilt would drive me to insanity.
But if i did some of the money would go to good use like charity and research on a cure for aids or something. People out there need it more then me.

I'm no saint. But only if I never know who was my "victim". If I'm forced to live on with that knowledge, then no, I won't.

In terms of morality, absolutely not.
In terms of a big red button, even if there were no material gain... I think "that" episode of Father Ted proved how impossible it is to resist.

No, I am pretty sure I wouldn't, though I would be lying if I said that I wouldn't be seriously tempted.
Though if I could pick who would die, then sure I would... several times. Can think of a few vicious psychopaths that the world would be better off without, and who's deaths would end up saving countless of innocents.

Depends on whether or not I felt like I could do something I felt was worthwhile with £1,000,000 in comparison to that person's life.

You can't feel guilty for causing somebody death without knowing for sure who the hell you just murdered. Who is to say that you pressing the button isn't the predetermined way that person will die. Not to mention, causing 1 death among the possible 1000s that occur everyday. Hell yeah I will press the button.
