Let me tell you a story. A woman was near her death due to cancer. There was a drug that might save her and it was a form of radium that the scientist recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, yet the scientist charged the drug ten times what the drug cost him to make. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to borrow money from everyone he knew, but he barely got half of the drug price. He told the scientist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the scientist refused because he already discovered the drug and was going to make money from it. Feeling desperate, Heinz broke into the lab and steal the drug.
Now, do you think Heinz should have broken into the lab and stolen the drug for his wife? Why or why not?
I know how desperate he must be, hence, he choose to do that, with a cost of legal punishment even if it was all done for saving his wife. At that rate, I believe he won’t care about the consequences, since (technically), he got nothing to lose. His wife’s life is his top priority, and even if he has to bear the punishment, I know he’d take it. And of course, even if the chances are 50:50, since she is bearing a terminal disease, whether or not she can be cured, at least he tried to save his loved one.
