Heinz Dilemma:
Heinz's wife is dying. One special drug, has been discovered by a druggist, 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 sell the drug cheaper or let him pay later. The druggist refuses. This special drub may or may not cure Heinz's wife. Should he steal the drug?
This is a tough question, and if I was in that situation I don't have a clue what I would do. If Heinz steals the drug as this might saves his wife. Then on the other hand, Heinz could steal the drug, the drug not work, his wife dies, and he ends up in jail for the next # of years. Or, he steals the drug, it works, but he is still essentially going to loose his wife, because he is going to end up in jail. This is a type of question where my answer would be 6 in one, half a dozen in the other.
