The Prisoner's Dilemma, but worse

A hypothetical thought experiment.

Assume the whole world, including those outside the Grove, have been given a button. They can choose to press or not press the button. If a majority of the world (so more than 50%) presses the button, then everyone who didn't press the button dies. If a majority of the world refused to press the button, everyone lives.

Do you press the button?
