Moral Development

I do not think that the Heinz Dilemma is an appropriate scenario to test an adolescents view of their moral development. There are a couple reasons why. One is because Heinz is desperate to save his wife. Many if not any adolescents have found someone or something that they care about so much to do whatever they needed to save them. Heinz loves his wife so much that he breaks into the store to steal the drug. Another factor that is wrong with this situation is that many adolescents love money in saying that many of them will side with the the doctor because he is only out for the money and not helping someone else. I think it would be rare to see a teenage who wanted to side with Heinz when they really have had little to know feelings that he has in scenario.
