Detailed explanation-1: -a story about an ethical dilemma faced by a character named Heinz that was used by Lawrence Kohlberg to assess the moral reasoning skills of those he asked to respond to it. Having exhausted every other possibility, Heinz must decide whether to steal an expensive drug that offers the only hope of saving his dying wife.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the 1960s, psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg built upon Piaget’s work with his own theory on the stages of moral development. Much of his reasoning was based on the Heinz dilemma, which explores how people justify and rationalize their actions when placed in similar moral quandaries.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Heinz dilemma is a frequently used example used to help us understand Kohlberg’s stages of moral development. As mentioned above, the dilemma is about a man whose wife is dying and there is one very expensive treatment option for her that Heinz cannot afford (watch a video about it here).
