8. A couple lives in a communist country which controls all legal drugs. A woman has an extremely rare, terminal disease that can only be saved by a specific drug. The drug, however, costs $100,000. The couple does not have the $ to pay for the drug. A husband has to decide whether to steal the drug to save his wife's life. Put the following levels and stages of Kohlberg's Moral Development model in order (lowest to highest) Preconventional, Stage a. Husbands should do everything they can to save their wives; The laws of society are here to preserve order. We shouldn't allow people to go and steal things they "need" or society will breakdown. Conventional, Stage b. The natural right to life is sacred and those acting morally should put this above all other considerations; Under John Rawls' "veil of ignornace," one should always act to save lives, but accept the punishments that will come as a result. Postconventional, Stage c. I shouldn't do it because I will get punished; Different people will give me different rewards / punishments. I should choose the action that limits the punishment.
