The other day in class we discussed Heinz’ dilemma which is: Heinz’ 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 druggist to sell the drug cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist refuses. Should Heinz steal the drug for his wife? Why or why not?
I think he should not steal the drug, because it may not work and if he does steal it he may get caught and go to jail and is that wroth seeing if a drug will work and losing valuable time with his wife? In today’s society many surgeries and medications are very expensive and some insurance does not pay for it, so people have fundraisers to try to raise the money or the family goes into debt to help to save that person’s life. People will try to do anything to try to take care of the person they love. Therefore, some people will resort to stealing.
This is a little picture of the Heinz’s dilemma that I thought was funny.
