Heinz's wife was dying from a special form of cancer, and there was a new drug that doctors believed could save her life. However, the drug was very expensive, as the druggist who discovered it was charging ten times what it cost to make. Heinz could only raise $1,000 of the $2,000 price, so he begged the druggist to lower the cost but was refused. Facing his wife's impending death, Heinz broke into the druggist's store and stole the drug.

1. The Heinz Case [Kohlberg, 1963]
"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 make. He paid $200 for the radium and
charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug.
The sick woman's husband, Heinz, did not have enough money to buy
the drug. He went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he
could only get together $1,000. He told the druggist that his wife was
dying and asked him to sell it cheaper. But the druggist said: ‘No, I
discovered the drug and I'm going to make money from it.’ Heinz got
desperate and broke into the man's store and stole the drug for his
wife.".
Should Heinz have broken into the store and stolen the drug for his
wife?
Why or why not?
