You could always pay the alternate price of kidnapping a Novartis executive's child until the treatment is completed, and then surrendering yourself to a lengthy prison term afterward. I can't pay $500k out of my own pocket, but I can buy a roll of duct tape and rationalize the hell out of an ethically tricky situation. That's one of the classic posers to gauge someone's level of ethical maturity, isn't it? Your child is dying, and you cannot afford the treatment. Would you steal it instead of buying it? Why?
