Questions such as, “Is it not wrong to make money off of sick people?” expose us to the childishness of the questioner, rather than provide any insights.
Were I to miss 3 meals in a row, I would be hungry. Should I get free food from a restaurant then, because it seems so wrong to make money off of hungry people?
If one may not profit from providing such a service, how will the provider then pay for HIS food? Obviously, with no profit forthcoming he will, at best, break even. So, how shall he pay for his food, to avoid being one of the ‘deserving’ hungry?
The questioner has a problem with profit and those who earn it. He would beggar those who provide needed services and do so with righteousness. Presumably, his own needs are provided by his fellows in the commune where each receives only
according to his needs. Also, presumably, his tuition is being paid by another (how that one achieved an excess of funds is questionable since profit-making is so distasteful to the beneficiary of this largesse).
And, no doubt, when his studies are complete he will go out into the world seeking employment at which he can merely break even and, thus, avoid making a profit from his endeavours.
