Question
A woman is near death from a special kind of cancer. There is one drug that doctors know will save her, with 100% certainty, but it is very expensive. The sick woman's husband cannot afford the medicine. He explains the situation to the druggist, but the druggist refuses to give him the drug. Having tried every legal means, the husband gets desperate and considers breaking into the man's store to steal the drug for his wife.
