If a person you loved very much, perhaps your significant other, mother, father, child, best friend, or somebody else you are very close to was dying of a rare disorder. The only medicine available for them to take to cure them was recently invented by the local pharmicist.
The cost of this medication (enough to cure your loved one) is $8,000. You are flat broke and do not have this kind of money. You are able to borrow $3,000 from family and friends, but can not come up with any more money.
It took the pharmicist less than $1,000 to make this cure but he is selling it for $8,000. His price will not budge even after you explained your situation, you offer to give him payments, still he is firm about getting $8,000 cash in his hand.
What would you do in this situation? If your loved one was dying and needed this medication desperately.
Would you break into the pharmacy and steal this drug? What would you do?

I dont think i would end up doing some burglary to save my dear one. I think i would rather seek help from some organisation rather than getting in to a debt trap. Still if i dont manage i would rather give up than making life hell for all living membsers. Sounds harsh but i am trying to be practical.

We love and we prefer that the one we love lives. However, we have to prepare ourselves spiritually first and help the other get closer to God as well. I would exhaust all possibilities. I just don't know where you are located, where you live. Our generation is lucky enough that other means of healing has come up. Alternative medicine is a very broad field with many ways, modalities, natural medicines and gadgets that can help our bodies to heal. There are now far infrared beds that help heal others, please search for "alternative medicine" on mthe internet.

I wouldn't break into the pharmacy, instead I would sell everything of value that I own to make up the difference. Material objects can always be relaced, loved ones cannot.

If it would just have been invented it would have to be in testing phase first so it should be free for study purposes, but asides from that :P.
I guess I'd try to borrow money from the bank or such, or perhaps sell some stuff which could make up for the missing money. Alternatively of course you could also try to get on national television with your story and get some extra cash or do a request in the newspaper and such, tons of possibilities to think off.
