Take a look at the Heinz Dilemma that we looked at in class. Its also found at the link to the right.
Post a comment, at least a paragraph in length, in which you discuss your decision on what you would do in this situation. Your paragraph should also include responses to the following "What If" scenarios:
-If Heinz does not love his wife, should he steal the drug for her? Why or why not?
-If the person dying is a stranger, should Heniz steal the drug for a stranger?
-Should people do anything they can to save a person’s life? Does it depend on who that person is?

* No.
-Should people do anything they can to save a person’s life? Does it depend on who that person is?

I believe whether he loves his wife or not plays a large role in his decision to steal the medicine. Even though it is wrong to steal, there are certain things people do to protect the people they love. If Heinz does not love his wife I dont think he should steal the medicine. Either way it would be wrong, but people are sometimes motivated by other factors to go against the law. I also do not think he should steal the medicine for a dying stranger. It would be less selfish to put the stranger in front of his own safety but I dont think the average person would be willing to do such a thing. Therefore, I believe that he should not steal the medicine. I believe it depends on who the person is that you are trying to save. There are certain people we would do anything for, but few people are willing to save a strangers life. Our society puts loved ones and themselves before everyone else so even if it was the right thing to do to save a strangers life, I do not believe everyone would.
If I was in Heinz's situation, I would do something illegal in order to save my wife. I wouldn't necessarily kill or kidnap the druggist, but I would rob somebody if that's what it absolutely came down to.
If Heinz does not love his wife, he should still steal the drug for her. When he married her, he made a committment until "death do us part" and he shouldn't just let his wife die because he's got issues in caring for her.
If the person dying is a stranger, Heinz should not steal the drug. By stealing the drug, he would risk going to jail which would then hurt his family. The stranger's family should steal the drug for him/her.
If it were me, I would most likely take a bullet for a stranger. I guess part of me thinks it depends on who that person is but I believe in being selfless when it comes to helping people. I don't believe people should kill other people to save someone's life unless the other person was trying to kill somebody. I guess I would have to think about the effect taking a bullet for somebody would have on my friends and family, but at this point in my life, I'd probably do it.
In my opinion, I think Heinz should try to find another drug for a more reasonable price. I realize that this is a life or death situation. However, the drug that the druggist is offering to give to Heinz for $2,000 still might not save Heinz's wife's life. Therefore, he should try to see if there are other drugs that might work just as well for his wife. Also, if Heinz does not love his wife then he should not steal the drug for her because it might not save her life and it is illegal to steal. If the person who is dying is a stranger, I do not think that Heinz should steal it because it is illegal and can put him in danger. In conclusion, I believe that people should do anything they can to save a person's life as long as it is legal. I would hope that if I was sick or had cancer that people would be here for me even if they did not know one thing about me.
Given that the drug is illegal anyway because it is being bought from the druggist and not administered by the hospital, I feel that Heinz would have no problem stealing the drug. Therefore, I feel that if he was willing to take the risk of buying it he should steal it to save his wife. If it was a stranger, I don't think Heinz would be willing to do something illegal in the first place, so he probably wouldn't steal the drug. Should he? That's a whole other question. I think that the person who needs it should be the one stealing the drug because we are all ultimately responsible for ourselves and should not depend on others. I also think that people should take all measures they can to save someone else's life if they are put in a situation where they have the ability to. This does not mean that they should commit crimes to save other people, but I do believe that a life is more important. I do not think it depends on who the person is because we should not take fate into our own hands and decide who lives or dies... Kind of like on Private Practice this week if anyone saw it. Everyone should have a chance at life no matter if they are close to you, a stranger, or done something bad in the past.
If I was in this situation, I think that I would try and persuade more and more! If that didn't work, i would let time take its course and unfortunately i would have to let my wife die. It is wrong to steal, although I think that it is also wrong that the drug is being charged at a significantly higher amount than what it is worth in the first place.
I do think that love is an emotion that causes people to do crazy things. If i was Heinz and I did not love my wife, I do not think that i would steal the drug, although i don't think i'd steal it in the first place anyway. Stealing is wrong and goes against all of my beliefs and what i was raised to do.
For a stranger, i don't think it should be done for the same reason is if it was for his wife.
I don't think that the law should be broken in order to save a person's life. There is a reason for everything, and if it is someone's time to unfortunately pass, then i guess that is what needs to happen.
I don't think it should depend on the person, but it does. I would do many things for family that i would be unwilling to do for other people.
As an outsider, I think Heinz should rule out every other option, even seeing if there is another drug for a cheaper price before he chooses to steal it or not. I don't think anybody should steal or go against the law, but like people said above, you do anything you can for the people you love. Therefore, I think that Heinz should steal it, as long as he knew for a fact he wasn't going to get caught and there wouldn't be any repercussions for it.
If the person dying is a stranger I don't think he should steal the drug for them. It definitely depends on the stranger and if you knew them a little bit or if you didn't know them at all. I think that Heinz should not steal the drug for a stranger because he is putting himself in danger. I think the strangers family or friends should be the one to steal the drug themselves.
I think that people should try to do as much as they can to save a person's life. I know for some it depends on who the person is, regarding how far you will go for them, but overall I feel you should do what you can for any person. Everyone has an equal shot at life and no one should take that away. I go an extra mile for people not just cause I should, but because it makes me feel good. I'd hope that if I was a person in need of saving that anyone would be willing to save me.
I think that Heinz should not resort to stealing or anything illegal, but just hope for the best and not give up trying to persuade the person to give him to drug for cheaper. I think all the same rules apply regardless if he loves her or not. If the person was a stranger, I still believe he should take every neccessary measure to get to drug like he would have done for his wife. And I do think that people should do everything they can to save someone's life, no matter who it is.
I personally believe that people will do crazy things for love. I believe that stealing is completely wrong but setting an unreasonably high price for a drug is also very wrong. Clearly is desperate need of help, so I think he should steal the drug. Heinz needs the drug, and the man is not willing to compromise so Heinz needs to do what is necessary.
Because it is risky and illegal, if Heinz doesn't love his wife I don't think he should steal the drug. I think having love plays a huge role in this situation. In my opinion, risking your life is not worth it if you do not love the person.
Similarly, Heinz shouldn't risk his life for someone he doesn't know. At this point it all becomes too risky. Unfortunately relationships and closeness comes into play when dealing with such a difficult situation.
I think people should do anything that they think is realistic to help someone. Since it depends on who the person is, the outcomes might be different. You should do what you feel is appropriate to help out, depending on the person.
To answer the first question, i don't know why Heinz would marry his wife if he doesn't love her but, i think regardless whether he loves her or not that he should steal the drug for her. He devoted his life to her and he should do all he can to help her.
Heinz could steal for a stranger but i dont know why he would if he didnt know them. He could get something as a reward i suppose but other wise he could steal and be a helpful person but that would also put him on the line. It would be very generous however.
Yes people should try all they can to save a person's life because a life is a valuable aspect. Every person is different and unless they did something horrible, they deserve to live.
Heinz should try everything before resorting to stealing. If he steals, he may of saved his wife but he would be going to jail for burglary. The decision in general is a tough one where you either get jail time or let you're wife die. If Heinz loves his wife enough im sure he'd be willing to steal and then deal with the consequences.
-Whether he loves his wife or not, it would be the decent human thing to break in with drastic measures and try to save this womans life. If this was me, I would for sure plan to try means like robbery, and pull a modern day James Bond to steal the medicine to help this person. I would not want that blood on my hands; the blood of a dead person that I could have helped.
- If this woman is a dying stranger, I would certainly help the stranger. No life is worth more than another, and as members of the human race, we all need to help each other no matter what. BUT IF THIS PERSON IS A STRANGER, IT WOULD BE RARE FOR A STRANGER TO ADMIT THIS TERRIBLE STRUGGLE TO ANOTHER STRANGER, making this scenario unlikely.
He should help, but I am not sure I would help a complete stranger.
- I believe that it people need to help each other. The problem in the world is the selfishness of man. We are all doomed the same fate, so why should we not help another person if we are going the same way. we need to help one another, we need to.
This is a very tough question of morals. There is know real right or wrong answer. However if I was Heinz:
Even if I didn't necessarily "love her", If they've spent a significant amount of time together (Ex. Years), I feel Heinz still might steal for his estranged wife.
I don't feel Heinz would risk his own well being for the sake of a total stranger.
In theory, If the person feels that he will be 100% successful in saving a persons life, he should make an effort. Another reason would be if the person has nothing left to loose.
If Heinz does not love his wife, he should steal it anyway because no one deserves to die without given the chance to live. This is her opportunity to live and it shouldn't be taken away. If the person is a stranger, depending on the level of closeness, Heinz should not steal the drug. The strangers family should be the one to take care of their own problems, and people shouldn't put their own lives at risk for someone they don't know or understand. You want to help your loved ones in anyway you can, because you know them well enough to know if they deserve a chance, but if you don't know the stranger, you shouldn't put yourself in danger. People should do anything to save a person's life if it is a loved one. There are certain factors that are too much to risk for someone you don't know or aren't close with. Everyone has a group of family or friends that they would give anything for, but you can't do that for everyone. Going to lengths as to steal for someones chance at life is, in my opinion, worth the risk.
Heinz should steal the drug for his wife because at one point in his life, he did love her. She is the one person who he can his wife. If he doesnt do everything he can to save her, it would be like he is killing her.
Heinz should not steal for the stranger. If you dont know the person, you don't even know if they deserve to live or what kind of person they are. The could be into drugs and gambling. It's not worth getting arrested with the risk that they could be a terrible person.
People should do as much as possible to save a family members' life or a friend's life. I wouldnt go so far as to say ANY person's life due to my explanation above. It depends on who the person is because of my explanation above as well. If it is a friend, I'd save them only if their family doesn't exert effort to or if they fail to find ways to save them.
-If Heinz does not love his wife, should he steal the drug for her? Why or why not?
Yes. In my own view of it, being altruistic is probably the most useful thing you can be in life. Saving someone's life is always better than having someone die.
-If the person dying is a stranger, should Heniz steal the drug for a stranger?
Yes. That speaks even better to Heinz's character.
-Should people do anything they can to save a person’s life? Does it depend on who that person is?
Not ANYONE's life. Any innocent person, yes.
Even if Heinz is not in love with his wife I think that he should still steal the drug for her, regaurdless. Heinz should atleast attempt to steal the drug for his wife to help save her life, regaurdless of if he is in love or out of love with her. If this person that was dying was a complete stranger, I belive that if Heinz knew who the person was, he should attempt to help save a life. This depends on how Heinz's personality is and how caring he is. Honestly, I feel like the world world be a much better place if everyone did anything they could to save a anyone's life. It depends on the person's decision to help save the life of the dying person. I think it all depends on who the person is, but everyone did a little something to help save someone's life, the world would be a much more loving enviornment.
I think that Heinz should consider reaching outside of his community. If he is serious about getting this drug, he could get the attention of the national media and hold some kind of online benefit where people from anywhere could send in money to help him. I think that even if he is not in love with her the yes, he should still steal the drug. If this drug can help save her, then having it be known to others after hearing about her survival would be extremely beneficial for people. I'm not really sure how to react to him stealing for a stranger. On one hand, you're risking a lot for someone you don't even know. However, that person you would be stealing for has those who care deeply for them and want them to be around for a long time. I would suggest maybe helping a family member or close friend steal the drug instead of Heinz single handedly stealing it. I think that depending on the person, someone should do anything they can to save their life. If someone close to you is dying, and you have the chance to let them live, you should go out of your way to make sure it happens.
If Heinz does not love his wife, I think he still has a moral obligation to steal the drug for her. At one point in his life, he did truly love her and they have spent so much time together, I would think he still has some place in his heart for her. Regardless of the feelings for one another, it is a person who he once cared for. One the other hand, if this dying person was a stranger, I do not think Heinz should steal the drug because there is no reason to risk his own well-being for someone he does not know. It is that strangers family and friends obligation to help. I think that people should to some extent do anything they can depending on the person and to what extent this deed is. If it potentially can damage a persons well being by doing this, there should be some sort of restrictions to who they are willing to save, so yes it does depend on the person. I wouldn't just go and risk my life for a complete stranger unless I know that person would do the same thing for me. These people in my lie are my close friends and family.
If Heinz really loves his wife then I think he should steal the drug for her because when you really love someone then you have to do some crazy things for them.
I think that Heinz should steal the drug for a stranger because
Yes a person should do all that they can to save a person's life because it is the right thing to do, and if they were in a position where they needed someone to save their life then they would probably want that person to do all that they can as well.
I think that Heniz should steal the drug for his wife if he does not love her. If he doesn't love her he should care for her as a human being. It is a lot to have to deal with having someone life in your hands. Also, at one point in his life, he did love his wife unless he would have never married her. I do not think that Heniz should steal the drug for a stranger. Heniz does not know the person personally and should not get into trouble for someone they do no know. I think everyone should do everything they can to help a person out as long as it is legal. A person should not have to do illegal things to try and save people's lives. It does not depend on what type of person the person in need is, it depends if it is illegal or not.
Regardless of whether Heinz loves his wife or not I think he should do whatever he can to get the drug for her because he has an obligation to her. I think that Heinz should fight for the stranger to have the drugs also but I wouldn't think he should go as far as to steal for a stranger. People should do as much as possible to save the lives of others because we would want others to do the same for us. I agree with what 2dwayne42 said because it is definitely the right thing to do by trying to save the lives of others.
If I were Heinz in this situation I am doing anything that I have to do to save my wife. This may include stealing the drug, robbing for money or physically harming the person selling the drug. I wouldn't just sit around watching my wife die infrint of my face. If Heinz doesn't love his wife then he still should steal the drug but it depends on his attitude toward a preventable death. If the person is a dying stranger then no Heinz shouldn't steal the drug because he has a wife to think about. What if he is injured in the process, then it isn't worth the trouble for a stranger. Truthfully it shouldn't matter if you know the person or not you should try to save anyone that you have the power to. Anyone with a kind heart will most likly be willing to go to great lengths to save another human being.
I don't think the first question could be completely answered by an on looker on the situation. Obviously the on looker would say say 9 times out of 10 because they are married. However we are not fully informed on why he doesn't love her. She could have hurt him or a family memeber or simply mistreated him. In which case no he should not jepordize his future for a women who he does not love.
I do not think Heniz should steal for a stranger. The risks are too great. However, he should do anything else he can such as donations,fundraisers, and any other type of support.
People should do anything legal that they can do to save a strangers life. However in the case of a loved one we should go above and beyond. Aside from killing someone(as no one should play god) people should do anything legal or illegal to save their loved ones lives.
Pt. 2
If I were in Heinz's original situation I would do anything leagal or illeagal to save my loved one. I would go to as many different people as possible to develop an elaborate scheme to steal the medicine. I thinkn if you love someone you are willing to do anyting you can to save them because you fully know they would do the same for you in a heartbeat
If I were in the same situation as Heinz, I would steal the money for my wife. I believe that if you love someone, then you should do whatever you have to in order to save them. Although it is illegal, it is necessary because if my wife were to die, I would probably be miserable the rest of my life. When faced with decisions like this, you must choose between your loved one and the law. Personally, I would probably steal the drugs from the man, and then turn myself into the cops just because I’d feel very guilty about what I did.
If Heinz does not love his wife, I believe he should still steal the drug for her. I believe that in life, you should always help others. Even if Heinz hates his wife, there is no reason to let another person die. In my opinion, you should do whatever it takes to help others. I would steal for someone I didn’t know, just because I hate to see other people suffer.
I do believe that people should do anything they can to save a person’s life and that it doesn’t depend on who the person is. Yes, if they are a murderer or criminal you shouldn’t help them, but if they haven’t done anything wrong, I don’t see any wrong in trying to help them out.
Obviously if you were married to someone, whether you love them or not doesn't matter in this situation. They're apart of your life and have been for however long and at one point you must have loved them. When someone's sick and they don't have long to live is when someone truly comes to realize how much they care about someone. So yes, I do think that he should steal the drug for her.
I can't really answer for Heniz if they should steal the drug for a stranger because that all comes down to who you are as a person. Personally, I'd steal a drug for a stranger in need. It's a persons life on the line, and if I were the reason they died I would feel guilty the rest of my life.
I do not think that it would be right of Heinz to steal the drug regardless of whether he loves his wife or not. However, I do not think that whether he loves her or not should effect how hard he tries to help her to continue living. If the person dying is a stranger I still do not think that Heinz should steal the drug, but I do think that he should try and do whatever else he can to help the stranger. I do think that people should do anything they can to save a person's life, even though I know that this doesn't always happen. I don't think who the person is should influence whether you save someone or not, because every life is valuable.
I think for anyone to commit such a drastic crime like stealing medical drugs, they would need a lot of motivation to go through with it. Loving his wife or not plays a key role in weather Heinz chooses to steal or not. Although, going along with what 78onelove was saying, I'm sure that after being in a relationship with his wife for so long, Heinz has to at least care for his wife, and do anything possible to protect her. As for stealing the drugs for a stranger, it all depends on how much that individual is willing to risk themselves in order to save someone who is a complete stranger. However, I do believe in karma, both good and bad, so by Heinz risking his own safety for a stranger or even his wife, then he definitely becomes a good candidate for some good karma back for him.
-Yes i would steal the drug and leave the money i collected,because i'm not going to let my wife die.
-umm i dont know because alot of people is dying because they dont have the right drug they need.
-Yes people should but they don't because they only care of there self, and yes it does matter who the person is because if it wasnt there (family or friend) they would not help at all.
In Heninz situation, I would steal to keep my wife a live. I wouldn't harm anybody in any kind of way but I would steal if that was my only option. It would be like the movie called John Q. Even if Heinz does not love her, he should still do it because they both committed to each other. How could he not care for her when she is laying there dying. If Heinz is doing it for a stanger he shouldn't do it. Why should he result from a consequence for someone he dosesn't know. He has to take care of his own family because he's the head of the household. People should do anything thy can to save someone but not in this kind of situation. I'm not selfish, but protecting your love ones/family should come first. Just like I would expect the same from anybody else.
I believe your question is flawed. Stealing the drug could not be the only option. He must be able to do something else in order to save his wife. I do not think there is anything legit about this question. If the person is a stranger, what obligation would you have for stealing a drug. I do think anything should be done to save a person's life, but that person would be in the hospital and it would be the hospital's responsibility to do everything they can. Any dying person would not be relying on just a random stranger off the street to save their life. I dont think it works that way.
-If Heinz does not love his wife, should he steal the drug for her? Why or why not?
If Heinz doesn't love his wife I think that he should still steal the drug for her. A life is very valuable, and every life should be saved if there is a chance to.
-If the person dying is a stranger, should Heinz steal the drug for a stranger?
Yes, I think no matter what Heinz should steal the drug. Again, even if you don't know the person you should save them, not only is it the right thing to do, but its the only thing to do. If you have the chance to save a life do it.
-Should people do anything they can to save a person’s life? Does it depend on who that person is?
No matter what you should save a persons life. Unless that person has killed other lives, but if they are a good person and havent done much wrong they should be saved.
-If Heinz does not love his wife, should he steal the drug for her? Why or why not?
I think he should steal the drug for his wife because I think he will feel guilty after if she dies and he livs happily. Even if he does not love his wife he did at one point and he made a commitment to her. This may repair their relationship because its such a big sacrafice.
-If the person dying is a stranger, should Heniz steal the drug for a stranger?
If i were Heniz I would do this if I knew a stranger was dying. I would feel guilty if I didn't and I think the consequences would be worth it.
-Should people do anything they can to save a person’s life? Does it depend on who that person is?
I think it depends on who that person is but people should be open to helping people they don't know.
Theoretically, I don't think Heinz, or anyone for that matter should steal in that or any situation. Having said that, Heinz loves his wife and I'm certain that he, like most everyone, would steal the drug in that situation. I don't think it is an excuse for theft but in a life or death situation like that, one would think that everyone would help their loved ones. If I was in that situation I think I would, but only for a loved one, because although its unfair to say that a stranger does not deserve that sort of treatment from us, most people would probably not risk so much for someone else, its just not practical, but when a loved one is in need, practicality is no longer relevant.
1. I think Heinz should find a drug that's similar to the expensive one. Most of the time there's always a replacement drug that's cheaper. I think that would be the best choice for him to do.
2. I don't think anyone should steal from anyone. If it did come down to stealing I personally wouldn't steal for a stranger. I would do it for someone I cared for.
3. I think there is only a certain amount of things you can do that won't get you in trouble, such as stealing. I do think it depends on who the person is whether or not you are going to commit a crime.
I Dont think heinz should steal for his wife. But I'm not sure he has used every single possible option. Once he uses everything then and only then can he even consider stealing the drugs or the money he needs.
No. I do not think Heinz should steal for a stranger. Just do it for someone you care about.
Yes. If you truely care for a person then you would do anything to help that person
If Heinz does not love his wife then he should not steal the drug for his wife. The real question is why did he get married to someone he doesn't love... Eat, Drink, and Re-Marry Heinz!
If Heinz is in the position to save a dying stranger he should not save the stranger because it is not his responsibility in that case. If he can live without her he's good to go. He's got a lovely wife anyway now.
People should do what they need to do to save a persons life if it is reasonable. A mugging, raping, or murder they should call the police or go beat some A! But if it is of natural causes then it does not fall onto the individual.
to be honest if i was that man. i would steal the medicine and pay the man back when i am able to. if someone doesn't understand that someone is dying and they need help very badly, and they still don't help. then you have to take matters in your own hands. because you would regret it if you didn't do absolutely everything that you could have done to help there.
-Sherard Gurvits
If his wife is hot then save her, love is not as important then. If she's putting out GO FOR IT. To save a stranger that depends on who it is if it is if its a ginger don't cause they don't have a soul.
ps sherard is short
In this situation I would probably ask my wife what she would want me to do. If she told me to steal the drug for her I would and if she wanted to try and get it another way or just see what happens then I would also do that. Whether or not Heinz loves his wife shouldn't matter. When he decided to marry her he make a pact with her saying he would always help her through anything. Again I think Heinz should ask his wife what she would want him to do. Heinz shouldn't steal ever, but depending on the situation he might want to. If it's a stranger that is asking him to do it for him then I think that he should. If no one asks him to then its not neccesary.
No matter what the situation is I think it is our job as humans to save anything we can. It doesnt matter on the situation or who the person is we should always try and help.
this is a really difficult question togive definitive answer for, because it's all about what ifs. In a perfect world i would like to belive that Mr. Heinz would do anything for this woman whether or not he loved her, knew her, or who they were. In real life however, that would not be the case. I know that even I would not risk so much for a person that wasn't especially close to me or that I think it's pretty safe to say that most people when actually put in the situation wouldn't go to the lengths to keep this woman alive if they didn't kow her or weren't particularly fond of her.
Although I believe that it would be wrong to steal the medicine, in the situation that Heinz is in I would more than likley steal it. Even he does not love his wife he would shouldnt steal it,but sometimes things like that happen. People should save other people life. I can not say in every situation but more than likely if someone is in danger than something should be done.
If Heinz does not love his wife he should not feel obligated to ruin his own life by doing something illegal in order to save her. However if they have children then he is responsible to take care of his wife be any means necessary. If the person is a stranger then Heinz should not steel the drug because he is more obligated to himself then a stranger. People should not do anything they can to save anyone’s life. Heinz should not jeopardize his own life to save a stranger. Depending on who that person is, they may not mean enough to Heinz.
Yes nobody what, he should steal the drug for her. When he got married he made a commitment to love and protect her. Yes, he should. It is part of our civil rights to help other human beings. No, anything but killing another human.
I don't think Heinz should steal the drug. That would be an unpractical method which would only land him in jail. As an alternative option I think he should find a charity or organization to help him with this issue. There are many people in out there who would be more than happy to help him during his time of need.
The answer to all of these questions really depends on how each individual feels about the word "obligation." In my opinion, whether or not Heinz loves his wife should not be involved in whether or not he should steal to obtain the drug he needs. To me, marriage is an obligation so even if Heinz does not love his wife, he is obligated to do everything that he can legally do. I think that if Heinz does love his wife, his definition of obligation would be skewed. Maybe now, an obligation to his wife means doing anything his possibly can (including stealing.)
If the person dying is a stranger, Heinz is not obligated to steal the drug. This is similar to real life when people decide to give to charity. I think most people are always willing to help out a stranger but do not consider it an obligation.
I think that Heinz should get it for his wife even if he doesn't love her anymore and the reason that I think this is because he has been married to her and even though he doesn't love her I think that he should do it regardless cause he was with her for a while and just cause you don't love someone doesn't mean that you don't care about them so I think that he should definatley try and get the medicine for her cause it would just be the right thing to do for her. I think that it the person is dying is a stranger to you then even still I feel like you should want to help out that person and try to save a life cause I know that if it were one of my family members then I would do every thing that I could to help them out and save there life cause no one would ever just let their family member pass away without trying to help them at all you would just feel like a horrible person. And I do think that you should try to save peoples lives but I will say that it depends on the person and the reason I say that is cause if the person is a horrible person and just does terrible things then like people might not want to consider doing it and I just think that it really depends on who the person is.
-If Heinz does not love his wife, should he steal the drug for her? Why or why not?
I think he should still steel the the drug for her because he is married to her. which i believe makes him obligated to do so.
-If the person dying is a stranger, should Heniz steal the drug for a stranger?
No they doesnt make sense at all why put urself at risk for someone you do not know at all
-Should people do anything they can to save a person’s life? Does it depend on who that person is?
They should trying and help people but not put themselves at risk unless they have a connection to the person
If I was in Heinz situation I would take matters into my own hands. I would do anything for my wife. Love is a powerful thing, and I would do anything it took.
In my opion I think that he should steal the drug.Even though he dont have enough money to by The drug I think he steal it. If he really want to save his wife life. Even being a complete stranger i dont know if I would be glad to help but if there was no other way I would.
Heinz needs to get the medicine for his wife because living without her would crush him. Many people woul say stealing or anything is unethical but sitting back and letting a loved one pass is also unethical. If Heinz does not love his wife he shouldnt do anything illegal because he is detached from the situation a little more. If the person is a stranger it might be different because if you're married and don't love one another something must have happened between them. If it's a stranger and you feel compassionate enough to help then do so. People should try their best to save people if they are willing to live with the consequences.
If I didn't have the money for the drug I would steal it, because its my wife and the law wouldn't stop me in this situation. If it was a dying stranger I wouldn't steal it because its none of my business. It doesn't matter who the person dying is, if they need help then they should receive it. With me though it depends on who I am willing to accept consequences for.
I think that Heinz shouldn't steal the drug even though his wife will die without it. Stealing is wrong even in life or death situations. Heinz should try and find another way to pay for the drug, like working for the druggist or paying the rest off in payments. If the person Heinz was getting the drug for was a stranger, he should still not steal it.
Whether the persond dying be his wife or a stranger. I think that if Heinz chooses to steal, he should steal for both. In a real life situation, Heinz would probably steal for his wife, and not the stranger. I do think that this world should be more selfless and we should all do what we can to help everyone. I dont think you should only be obligated to those you love. Because as you may not love them, someone does.
I think Heinz should steal the drugs. The selfish and heartless guy who is selling the drugs should have a heart and at least let the guy get the drugs and pay him back over time. I would steal the drugs personally, but thats just me.
Heinz should steal the drug for his wife because at one point in his life, he did love her. She is the one person who he can his wife. If he doesnt do everything he can to save her, it would be like he is killing her.
n my opinion, I think Heinz should try to find another drug for a more reasonable price. This is a life or death situation i am aware, however the drug that is being offering to Heinz for $2,000 still might not save Heinz's wife's life. He should try to see if there are other drugs that might work just as well for his wife.
1. Someone92, I do believe he should steel the drug for her, if he truly is in love with her, and wants to spend the rest of his life with her i believe he should steel it.
What do you think?
2. No they should not.
3. Bstrong i completely agree with you that is beautiful. Why would he risk his life when he has a family to take care of as well. Now if he saved him from a car or a bus hitting him that is one thing, but steeling is something you do when you absolutely need something no other way.
If I was in this situation, I think that I would try and persuade more and more! If that didn't work, i would let time take its course and unfortunately i would have to let my wife die. It is wrong to steal, although I think that it is also wrong that the drug is being charged at a significantly higher amount than what it is worth in the first place. I do think that love is an emotion that causes people to do crazy things. If i was Heinz and I did not love my wife, I do not think that i would steal the drug, although i don't think i'd steal it in the first place anyway. Stealing is wrong and goes against all of my beliefs and what i was raised to do. For a stranger, i don't think it should be done for the same reason is if it was for his wife. I don't think that the law should be broken in order to save a person's life. There is a reason for everything, and if it is someone's time to unfortunately pass, then i guess that is what needs to happen. I don't think it should depend on the person, but it does. I would do many things for family that i would be unwilling to do for other people.
