1. Heinz faced a tough moral choice. On one hand, he desperately wanted to save
his wife's life, and the druggist was charging an unfair price for the medicine. On
the other hand, stealing is usually seen as wrong and against the law. Whether it's
right or wrong depends on personal beliefs about the value of a human life
compared to property rights.
2. Heinz's love for his wife matters emotionally, but it doesn't change the basic
idea that stealing is against the law. His strong emotions may explain why he's
willing to break the law, but it doesn't make the act of stealing legal or ethical.
3. If the dying person was a stranger, it makes the situation even more
complicated. Heinz may not feel a personal connection, but the same ethical
concerns about theft and property rights would still apply. Whether stealing the
drug is justified would still depend on personal morals.
4. Whether the druggist can be arrested for murder is a legal question. In most
legal systems, selling an expensive drug usually isn't considered murder. However,
the druggist's behavior could be seen as morally wrong for taking advantage of a
desperate situation. Legal consequences would depend on specific laws about
price gouging during crises.
