A good’s price elasticity of demand depends in part on how necessary it is relative to other goods. If the following goods are priced approximately the same, which one has the least elastic demand?

1. Sports car

2. Chemotherapy for cancer patients

Chemotherapy for cancer patients is a basic necessity needed for the patient to continue living, so if the price of chemotherapy increases or decreases will not affect the patient's choice of getting it. What can affect the patient's decision is whether he/she can afford the treatment, but even if he/she can't they will seek other ways of trying to obtain it, e.g. going to public hospitals.
