Heinz's Dilemma.
Heinz's wife is dying because of a special kind of cancer.
There's only one drug that the doctors think might save her.
It is a new formula which a pharmaceutical company
in the same town has recently discovered.
The drug is very expensive to produce,
but the company is charging 10 times the production cost.
Heinz goes to everyone he knows to borrow money,
but he can only collect half of what the drug costs.
He tells the CEO of the company that his wife is dying,
and asks him to sell it for less so if he
could pay at a later time.
But the CEO refuses.
He can make no exceptions.
The research had been very expensive,
and the company needs to turn in a profit.
What should happen next?
Heinz should not steal the drug since he
will be breaking the law.
Heinz should steal the drug, and accept any prison sentence.
Heinz should steal the drug but not go to prison,
as that would be unfair.
