Final answer:

Heinz's actions are a matter of ethical debate as he stole the drug to save his wife's life.

Step-by-step explanation:

Heinz, the husband, was faced with a difficult situation where his wife's life was at stake and he did not have enough money to buy the expensive drug that could save her. He tried to borrow the money but could only gather half of the amount. He pleaded with the druggist to sell it cheaper or let him pay later, but the druggist refused. In desperation, Heinz broke into the store to steal the drug for his wife. Whether Heinz's actions were justified or not is a matter of ethical debate. On one hand, he was stealing, which is generally considered morally wrong. On the other hand, he was trying to save his wife's life, which could be seen as a morally justifiable act.
