    The document discusses different perspectives on the Heinz dilemma, where a man considers stealing a drug to save his wife's life. Those at a pre-conventional level felt stealing was wrong or that self-interest justified Heinz's actions. At the conventional level, maintaining interpersonal relationships or authority and social order could argue both for and against Heinz. Those at a post-conventional level felt there were no simple definitions and that universal principles or one's own moral guidelines could also argue both ways in this complex situation with competing considerations.
