Hmm now this is an easy one. I guess I'll give my answer then give my reasons.

I would take the money.

Now the simple fact of the matter is the human mind has a way of protecting it's subjects. If I was to collect the money, then your mind would activate it's defense mechanisms and go through this whole phase of rationalization. Which basically is your mind allowing you to make up all sort of excuses that the person dead isn't your fault.


Now from a normal standpoint
If I was to collect the money I could do a lot more to help mankind then allowing one person to live. If I was a kind hearted person (And notice the word IF) I could help out the homeless or the hungry. I think that helping out a large group of people is a bit more satisfying then helping out one.
