Christian Bioethics, 2006
This article examines the relationship between the principle of double effect and justification for separation surgeries for conjoined twins.

The principle of double-effect in a clinical context

Poiesis & Praxis: International Journal of Technology Assessment and Ethics of Science, 2003
Whereas indirect euthanasia is a common clinical practice, active euthanasia remains forbidden in most countries.

PDE states that there is a morally relevant difference between the intended consequences of an action and merely foreseen, unintended side-effects.

Absolute principles and double effect
