C. Read the case presented below. Make a moral decision on the dilemma that the character experienced. Write your answers on the lines provided below. (50 pts. ) Case: In Europe, a woman was near death from a very bad disease, a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to make. He paid $200 from the radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could get together only $1,000 which was half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying, and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later, but the druggist said, "No, I discovered the drug and I'm going to make money from it." Heinz got desperate and broke into the man's store to steal the drug for his wife. Should Heinz have stolen the drug? Would it change anything if Heinz did not love his wife? What if the person dying was a stranger, would it make any difference? Should the police arrest the chemist/druggist for murder if the woman died? Eylain or defend vour answer
