The answer to the previous question can be answered simply by saying: don't steal because it's wrong. The conventional stage of moral reasoning is largely based on the popular opinion of society. This is the level that most adults are at. The conventional stage of moral reasoning is also classified as the stage of being a “good person.” This can be considered a good husband, who in this case would steal the drugs to help his wife, or a good member of society, so he would not steal at all. The postconventional stage of the moral code surpasses the rules of society. This is also considered the highest level of moral reasoning. The postconventional stage of moral reasoning states that, although it is wrong to steal, human life matters above all. Therefore, sometimes rules must be broken to protect people's well-being. The postconventional stage of moral reasoning would even go so far as to say that he is obliged to steal the drug to save a human being.
