OAO:

If your parents were dying of some deadly but curable disease and you had to break into a pharmacy to steal drugs for them, would you do it or would you let them die? (911 is not available and the owner of the drug store is on vacation).

I read a study once about how young children believed that laws were right and wrong just because they were laws and there were no exceptions. This was because until a certain stage in their development they could only think concretely and couldn't grasp abstract concepts like reasons and contexts. Those over the age of 7, however, could usually understand the purposes behind some laws and the situations in which those laws might need to be broken.
