A poor man has tried every legal means possible to get the medicine that will save us child's Life. He is placed in a situation
where it would be easy to steal enough money to purchase the medicine, and he is unlikely to get caught. Which kind of the limit does this incident represent?
A limit clearly states that a 'poor' man desperately needs to save his child's life- steals medicine is a legal limit because the poor man do not have money, so stealing medication is essential for his child's survival.
While I do not have the passage, I can tell you that the word distraught means deeply worried, or upset. Some synonyms are devastated, distressed, or desperate.
