Killing a person is murder. Killing pandas is not. Why this is the case? I don't know, it is though.
Would you really sacrifice one of your own kind for some random bears?
What if it is an important person? What if you kill Xi Jinping and cause WW3?
What if the button said: you or the pandas? Would you kill yourself to save the pandas? If not, why not? Do you think of yourself as more important than the average person? I gotta be honest, in that situation I say screw those pandas. And in consequence, I can't murder another person for them, either.
I would in fact say that a single person is more important to the happiness of everyone than the species of pandas. Everyone that loves that person would be in terrible pain after their death, and for what? For how long would people really care if the pandas went extinct?

Interesting stuff. Why I disagree:
