Question

Heinz's wife is very ill and will die without treatment. Unfortunately, the only drug that can help her is very rare and much too expensive for Heinz to afford. If Heinz is presented with an opportunity to steal the drug, his postconventional moral reasoning would lead him to conclude that he ____.

Answer 1

He is allowed to do anything he has to make his wife alive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The postconventional moral reasoning, brought by Lawrence Kohlberg, is a stage of moral development where the individual sense of morality covers a way more abstract sense of right and wrong. In that point, the person believes that what constitute that law he is breaking, on the matter of the dilemma presented, is not made for the situation he lives and for him that law should be changed or eliminated.
