A woman is near death from cancer, A druggist has discovered a drug that doctors believe might save her
While reading this chapter you learned about the cognitive advances and limitations of adolescence. With the attainment of formal operational thought, the developing child becomes able to think in an adult way, that is, to be logical, to think in terms of possibilities, and to reason scientifically and abstractly. You also read about moral development and Kohlberg’s theory of moral reasoning. Here is a chance to decide for yourself what Heinz should have done.
A woman is near death from cancer, A druggist has discovered a drug that doctors believe might save her. The druggist is charging $2,000.00 for a small dose–10 times what the drug costs him to make. The sick woman’s husband, Heinz, borrows from everyone he knows but can scrape together only $1000.00. He begs the druggist to sell him the drug for $1000.00 or let him pay the rest later. The druggist refuses, saying, “I discovered the drug, and I’m going to make money from it.” Heinz, desperate, breaks into the man’s store and steals the drug. Should Heinz have done that? Why or why not? Were there other options for him? What would you do?
