Heinz dilemma
Heinz's wife is dying. One special drug, discovered by a local druggist, might save her, but the druggist is selling it at an exorbitant price. So Heinz, after failing to borrow the money he needs, pleads with the druggist to all the drug cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist refuses. Should Heinz steal the drug for his wife? Why or why not?
My Opinion
Yes he should steal the drug. He tried to reason with the druggist but he was stubborn and refused. He would be saving his wife's life, what is more precious in this world then life? It's not as though the druggist will have any real consequence to having the drug stolen other than a loss of profit. If Heinz is is caught for stealing the drug, what's the worse thing that would happen...a small about of jail time, but his wife lives. That seems a lot better to me than having a significant other die because there is a lack of money.
