A moment after your child is born, doctors offer you a **one-time pill** for your newborn that would greatly increase the probability that they join the **social and economic elite** (high-rank politician, big company executive, top sportsperson, very rich person, popular intellectual, etc). Only side effect: the pill would also greatly increase the probability that they end up at the **bottom of the social ladder** (criminal, incarcerated, homeless, addicted, suicidal, murdered, etc). Assume the pill is known to be safe and effective.
_Would you give that pill to your child?_
