How do you think society would be different if people had a Death Button

If you could kill someone easily, by just pressing one spot on their chest, for instance, how would that change the world?

It would create big business. All kinds of companies would be making devices to keep our buttons from getting pushed and campaigning for our business. And then of course there would be hackers selling devices to beat the button protectors. Capitalism at it's best.

I was hoping to see more on the growth and development of the legal system, since death can be much more accidental, and various other things that would change. But for a 25c question I guess this is good enough. :)

I think medieval armor would be much more popular. Nothing like a steel plate to keep someone from pushing your button.
