In this situation, what would you do?

Say you were in this situation:

A woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to produce. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could only get together about $ 1,000, which is half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said, "No, I discovered the drug and I'm going to make money from it." So Heinz got desperate and broke into the man's store to steal the drug for his wife.

Should Heinz have broken into the laboratory to steal the drug for his wife? Why or why not? Also, what is the more moral thing to do?

Throw Heniz in prison and force the wife into a life of servitude to repay her husband's debt.

they should have used herbal healing. Drugs don't cure anything.mohfrontline

Dude, she's going to die. What good will that do?hydralisk86

Oops, sorry. I was assuming she had already taken the miracle cure. If she hasn't yet taken it, then my response would be: throw Heinz in prison and return the drug to its owner.

Well. If you are trying to make a dilemma, you fail horribly. First mistake: Making us feel sorry for Heinz (lol @ name). Second mistake: Making the druggist a greedy human being. Third mistake: Making a dilemma that is so obvious, that only your average GS badboy would go against common sense.

So back to topic. Ofcourse he should not have broken in to this druggists home! Now druggist will be sad. Very sad. Bad heinz, go home heinz or i call cops.. Go make ketchup..

No, you should not have stolen the candy bar, Heinz. :|CrimzonTide

Where are my detonators! :evil:

Ehm.. I assume things by looking at the obvious. This is not from a high-school text book that's for sure. Those statements are as coloured as can be. No one from age 10 and up would have any doubt in this dilemma.

No, because Radium doesn't cure cancer.:|UrbanSpartan125

He shouldn't have done it because everyone will know he OBVIOUSLY stole it when his wife gets better.
