A famous Kohlberg dilemma goes something like this:
Heinz’s wife is dying and there’s a drug that may be able to save her. Jack cannot afford the drug.
Can Heinz steal the drug to treat his wife? What’s the Halacha in this case?

1@DoubleAA Claiming this is a duplicate is making a Halachik presumption that may or may not be accurate. – LN6595 Jan 10 at 16:12

@LN6595 what assumption is that? I guess technically I should have closed in the opposite direction, since food is a subset of drug. In any event, if you feel this isn't a duplicate please edit to clarify how it is different – Double AA♦ Jan 10 at 16:20
