A woman was near death from 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 produce. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman’s husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could only get together about $1000. 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, “I’m sorry but no. A man’s got to make a living. I discovered the drug and I’m going to make money from it.” Desperate, Heinz broke into the man’s store to steal the drug for his wife. Should Heinz have broken into the lab to steal the radium for his wife? Why or why not?
