Chapter 9 - Moral Dilemma: Read the following moral dilemma called The Heinz Dilemma: A woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town<br>had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to produce. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone<br>he knew to borrow the money, but he could only get together about $1,000 which is half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said:

Extracted text: Chapter 9 - Moral Dilemma: Read the following moral dilemma called The Heinz Dilemma: A woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to produce. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could only get together about $1,000 which is half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said: "No, I discovered the drug and I'm going to make money from it." So Heinz got desperate and broke into the man's store to steal the drug for his wife. In your original post, provide thoughtful responses to the following: 1. In your own words, describe the 3 levels of Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development (preconventional, conventional, and post conventional). 2. Do you think Heinz should have broken into the laboratory to steal the drug for his wife? Why or why not? (Really explain your reasoning in 3-5 sentences.) 3. Which level of Kohlberg's moral reasoning are you using in your opinion/answer about Heinz Dilemma (from #2)?
