  1. Jack’s wife was near death. There was one drug on the planet that could save her, and it was only sold in Jack’s hometown. The druggist who was selling it, however, was charging ten times what it cost to make the drug. Jack couldn’t afford the drug. He tried borrowing money from his friends and family, and could only come up with half of the cost of the drug. He explained his problem to the druggist, but the druggist refused to sell him the drug for less money, and he also refused to let Jack pay the second half later. Jack decided that he had to steal the drug.

  3. Should Jack have stolen the drug? A. YES B. NO

  4. Because… A. he would get in trouble from his family members for not getting help B. he can risk his life if he thinks he can get away with it C. no one will respect him if he lets her die D. it’s his duty to his wife, he should pay later and accept the law’s penalty E. the law wasn’t meant to violate life, the law should be reinterpreted if he is caught F. if he didn’t steal it, he’d be putting another value above that of life; respect for property should not be above the respect for life; there shouldn’t be private property; it is everyone’s duty to help the dying

  5. Because… A. he would go to jail B. it’s more risk than it’s worth C. everyone will think he’s a criminal D. because even though his natural duty is to obey the law, it would create violence/crime if every store owner were charging excessive prices
