1.) Should Heinz steal the drug? Why or why not?
- He should steal it for everyone, because right to live is more important than property right. It's unimportant if he loves a person or not, although not stealing it for a loved person is definitely more immoral.
2.) If Heinz doesn't love his wife, should he steal the drug for her? Why or why not?
- See above
3.) Suppose the person dying is not his wife but a stranger. Should Heinz steal the drug for the stranger? Why or why not?
- See above
4.) (If you favor stealing the drug for a stranger.) Suppose it's a pet animal he loves. Should Heinz steal to save the pet animal? Why or why not?
- Unsure, but generally, even an animals right to live should be more important than property rights. I know this is difficult.
5.) Is it important for people to do everything they can to save another's life? Why or why not?
- Yes, it is. Human life is the highest value.
6.) Is it against the law for Heinz to steal? Does that make it morally wrong? Why or why not?
- Of course it's against the law, and of course it is not morally wrong. On the other hand, the doctor who sells the drug doesn't break the law, but he acts morally wrong.
7.) Should people try to do everything they can to obey the law? Why or why not?
- Law should be obeyed, but not in any case.
