Death, Devices, and Double Effect

HEC Forum, 2018
Along with the growing utilization of the total artificial heart (TAH) comes a new set of ethical issues that have, surprisingly, received little attention in the literature: (1) How does one apply the criteria of irreversible cessation of circulatory function (a core concept in the Uniformed Determination of Death Act) given that a TAH rarely stops ...

The effectiveness of double-gloving in otolaryngology

Clinical Otolaryngology, 1990
Thirty-four sets of consecutively used double gloves (68 pairs) used by otolaryngologists and their assistants in operations known to have a high risk of glove punctures were studied. The perforation rates for the outer and inner layers were 35.3 and 8.8% respectively, indicating that a second set of gloves substantially improves the likelihood of ...

Deception and the Principle of Double Effect

Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics, 2008
The Principle of Double Effect has been with us since the Middle Ages and has sanctified actions that might otherwise be viewed as morally wrong.

Absolute principles and double effect

Analysis, 1976
MORALISTS have traditionally appealed to the Principle of Double Effect (PDE) in order to maintain certain absolute moral prohibitions, such as that against the intentional killing of human beings, in the face of situations which seem to reduce them to absurdity or incoherence.

Investigations of the double-double effect by IR spectroscopy

Journal of Inorganic and Nuclear Chemistry, 1980
Abstract IR spectra of aurintricarboxylic, dimethylaurintricarboxylic, and trimethylaurintricarboxylic acids as well as their complexes with lanthanides were investigated. The complex-formation gave rise to two new bands corresponding to antisymmetric and symmetric stretching of the carboxylate ion. Also, a decrease in the relative intensity of the C

Four Versions of Double Effect

Journal of Medicine and Philosophy, 1991
Recent discussions of the doctrine of double effect have contained improved versions of the doctrine not subject to some of the difficulties of earlier versions.

Euthanasia, double effect, and proportionality

Monash Bioethics Review, 2002
I discuss the Principle of Double Effect (PDE) as a means of exploring aspects of the motivation of active voluntary euthanasia (a.v.e). It is argued that the objective of a.v.e. is not death but the relief of suffering. Nor is death the means, it is a concomitant. I entertain no hope of convincing the typical proponent of PDE that a.v.e.

Double effect, double intention, and asymmetric warfare

Journal of Military Ethics, 2004
Modern warfare cannot be conducted without civilians being killed. In order to reconcile this fact with the principle of discrimination in just war theory, the principle is applied through the doctrine of double effect. But this doctrine is morally inadequate because it is too permissive regarding the risk to civilians.
