Handout #1

Main moral dilemma:

The Heinz case (Kohlberg, 1963)

"A woman was on her deathbed. There was one drug that the doctors said would 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. However, the druggist said: "No, I discovered the drug, and I am going to make money from it."

Perspective Cards Questions:

1-     Should Heinz steal the drug? Why or why not?

2-     Is it right or wrong for him to steal the drug? Why is it right or wrong?

3-     Does Heinz have a duty or obligation to steal the drug? Why or why not?

4-     Should Heinz steal the drug for her if he doesn't love his wife? Does it make a difference in what Heinz should do whether or not he loves his wife? Why or why not?

5- Suppose the person dying is not his wife but a stranger. Should Heinz steal the drug for the stranger? Why or why not?
