Frank's daughter Jenna is sick. They visit the hospital and the doctor says that if Jenna does not get a certain medicine, she w

ill probably die. Unfortunately, Frank cannot afford the medicine. He notices recent improvements to the hospital and suspects it must be making a lot of money by raising the prices of medicines. On his way out, Frank notices an open drawer stuffed with vials full of the medicine Jenna needs. He does not see anyone around and knows he could take some of the medicine without anyone noticing. What would a Kantian deontologist say that Frank should do? a.) Frank should take the medicine because it will increase happiness for some, and happiness is more important than the act of stealing. b.) Frank should take the medicine because humans act primarily out of their own self-interest, and what is good is relative to each individual. c.) Frank should not take the medicine because he has not taken into consideration the possible positive and negative consequences of the action on others. d.) Frank should not take the medicine because stealing cannot hold up as universal law, regardless of the potentially good consequences.

Answer:

d.) Frank should not take the medicine because stealing cannot hold up as universal law, regardless of the potentially good consequences.

In the given scenario however stealing is not a universal law and cannot be justified under any circumstance.

Although Frank's daughter Jenna is sick and he cannot afford the medicine.

He should not take from open drawer stuffed with vials full of the medicine Jenna needs because it is ethically wrong

Critical thinking consists of analyzing and evaluating the consistency of reasoning, especially the statements that society considers to be true in the context of everyday life.

This evaluation can be carried out through observation, experience, reasoning or the scientific method. Critical thinking requires clarity, precision, fairness and evidence, since it aims to avoid particular impressions. In this sense, it is related to skepticism and the detection of fallacies.
