1. Should Heinz steal the drug? I think he should because he is being robbed of the drug because of the outrageous price on it if it’s worth 20,000 and inflation of 180,000. That is a big markup on the price even when they raised 50,000 the pharmacist is in the wrong to turn away a person in need for the drug otherwise die from not getting the drug. In itself the price is steep and not reachable by most people’s standards and economy this day and age and sometimes we all must face a situation where the only choice is to override follow the leader mentality when it comes to someone you would do anything for. 2. Is it actually right or wrong for him to steal the drug? Yes, it is wrong for him to steal but the question is the result of not stealing it and receiving the drug a bigger issue, it is wrong to not work with the person willing to do anything to pay for this life saving drug. It is wrong to steal anything and morally wrong but when life is on the line the thought process cannot comprehend not trying every avenue if approach. The only person it would be hurting is the pharmacist for a big pay day right away even though he was willing to pay the full amount but would of just took some time to reach. 3. Does Heinz have a duty or obligation to steal the drug? I think it is a duty of every husband to do whatever they can to save a wife’s life and protect them at any cost, it’s not an obligation by any means but mentally you would have to in this situation think could you live with yourself by not trying when this wonder drug could save the life of someone you love. The duty is the main focus when facing this kind of situation as a husband it should be the only reason if not for the love. 4. If Heinz doesn’t love his wife, should he steal the drug for her? Does it make a difference in what Heinz should do whether or not he loves his wife?
