Heinz dilemma| Test Your answer's

[RoadRomeo]

Heinz’s wife was dying because of a special kind of cancer. There was only one medicine that the doctors thought might cure her, but it was an advanced formula that a pharmaceutical company had recently discovered. This drug was extremely costly to produce due to high-cost equipment and singular production techniques. On top of that, the company was selling the drug at a price tenfold the production costs.

Heinz went to everyone he knew to borrow money but he could only collect half of what the drug costs. He sought an audience with the CEO of the pharmaceutical company, told him that his wife was dying and begged him to sell the drug cheaper or allowed him to defer the payment. But the CEO refused. He couldn’t make any exception as they had spent massive funds in the research and equipment, and turning in a profit was the top priority for the company.

Heinz was devastated, and at wit’s end about what he should do next. In the end, he broke into the company and stole the drug for his wife.

Think about this. What would you do if you were Heinz and WHY?

If you were to pick one of the below answers, which one would you CHOOSE?

1. Heinz should NOT steal the drug because he would be put to prison for his crime.

2. Heinz should steal the drug because he would feel gratified and happier.

3. Heinz should steal the drug because he’s a good husband and its expected of him to do so by his wife.

4. Heinz should steal the drug but be incarcerated because he broke the law.

5. Heinz should steal the drug because saving a life is more important than breaking the law.

6. Heinz should steal the drug but NOT be incarcerated because the law would be unjust if it penalized an individual for saving a life.
