An Illegal Act of Necessity

There is a moral Rorschach Test that involves a starving family, and a loaf of bread.

What should the punishment, if any, be; what is the tension between survival instincts and our legal systems…

You ask if it’s wrong to steal a loaf of bread to feed your family, and then the ensuing discussion involves ethics, justice, and societal responsibility.

Well, I now share a quandary about friend faced.

He was driving in an area with no rest stops or gas stations, and he had to go to the bathroom.

What’s to be done?

And, should an act of personal relief in the middle of nowhere be illegal?
