John Quincy Archibald, a father and husband whose son is diagnosed with an
enlarged heart. He is deeply devastated when he knew about the current health status
of his son and in order for his son to survive, a heart transplant procedure must
undergo.

Hence, a great amount of cash is needed but the situation seems not

cooperating. He is put in a situation in which nothing matters except the life of his son.
Given with no options, he wants to commit suicide so his heart can be used to save his
son.
In moral sense, the way John Quincy Archibald respond is bad since he is willing
to risk his life and couldnt accept things as it should be. This is really hard to act good
and prevent in doing such bad things when your sons life is already in danger. But
then, he should put his actions straight to avoid any unnecessary decisions. Practice
fairness and treat other human beings as equal even though things are falling apart and
trying to push him into limits. Still, he managed not to hurt someone, all he wanted is for
his son to survive. Fathers role is selfless wherein they could put their own lives at
stake for the sake of their family. At circumstances like these will surely show off the real
man behind a strong family. They will do everything to surpass a life threatening kind of
situations within his circle.
