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.
