1. What is the message of the Heinz dilemma?

● All individuals have the freedom to lead their own life, no matter what the
law says, and just because their wife is extremely ill does not justify their
behavior. A more important value than property rights is saving a human
life.
2. Is it ethical that Heinz stole the drug, yes, or no? Justify your answer.
● No,He should not steal the medication since it is immoral and against the
law. He should do anything he can to avoid breaching the law, even if it
means stealing drugs. He is not a thief. Stealing is prohibited by law,
making it unlawful.
3. In your opinion, what is the best solution to Heinz dilemma?
● In my perspective, the Heinz dilemma is a complex problem with no other
answer. Others may say that theft is ethically unacceptable and that
finding a cheaper alternative therapy is a preferable option. The best way
to solve the problem will be determined by the individual conditions and
personal ideas about the importance of multiple ethical standards, such
as the worth of human life and the morality of stealing.
