1. You're involved in a two-car crash on your way to work
one morning in which you accidentally hit and kill a
pedestrian. As you get out of the car, you are intercepted
by a tearful woman who seems to think that she hit and
killed the pedestrian. You're not sure why she thinks she
hit the person, but she is convinced. There's only you,
the woman, and the person you hit on the road; there
are no witnesses. You know that whoever is deemed
responsible will probably be sent to jail. What do you
do? Identify your reason according to the stages of
Moral Development by L. Kohlberg.

2. You and your son are prisoners at a concentration camp.
Your son tried to escape but was recaptured and
sentenced to hang at the gallows/rope. To send a
message to all others who may try to escape, the guard
orders you to pull the chair out from under your son; if
you refuse, the guard will kill your son and another
innocent person in the camp. What do you do? Identify
your reason according to the stages of Moral
Development by L. Kohlberg.

3. You are a doctor at a top hospital. You have six gravely
ill patients, five of whom are in urgent need of organ
transplants. You can't help them, though, because there
are no available organs that can be used to save their
lives. The sixth patient, however, will die without a
particular medicine. If s/he dies, you will be able to save
the other five patients by using the organs of patient 6,
who is an organ donor. What do you do? Identify your
reason according to the stages of Moral
Development by L. Kohlberg.
