Of course I would! If they are to die it will be by my hands and not by mere bad luck.
You are given the choice to either set the world ablaze leaving only yourself to wander a lifeless earth for the rest of your days or be burnt at the stake for a full day without dying and without loss of your senses (nerves instantaneously heal and you cant black out from the pain) and no chance of dying during the 24 hours.
