The Principle of Double Effect
2000Abstract St Thomas Aquinas, in discussing killing in self-defence, remarks that one and the same action may have two effects, one of them intended, and the other beside the intention.

Killing and the Principle of Double Effect
Scottish Journal of Theology, 1988When we raise the question of whether the pleasures of the human body are as valuable as those of the human mind — whether, for example, pushpin is as good as poetry — it is quite possible that people will disagree on their answers.

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

[Assisted dying and the principle of double effect].
Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2003Direct active euthanasia is prohibited in most countries while passive and indirect is not. However, many arguments against the legalization of voluntary active euthanasia are flawed, because a critical ethical difference between passive and active euthanasia is difficult to establish especially when the passivity of the actor causes death. The crucial
