Many people experience mixed feelings when euthanasia or assisted death situations arise. One strong impulse is to approve a course of action that will prevent or relieve suffering. Another strong impulse is to refrain from actions that are likely to foreshorten a person’s life. The principle of double effect is sometimes seen as a way of resolving this conflict. A distinction is made between intent and consequence. One intends to relieve suffering: this justifies the action. If the patient’s death is hastened by this action, it is an unfortunate, but not an ethically negligent consequence. Suppose you find yourself as part of the decision-making process.

1. Would you accept the double-effect principle? Why or why not?
2. Is this a sound, logical, and ethical way of making the decision or an unconvincing way to cope with an uncomfortable situation?
3. If you reject the double-effect principle, what alternative would you choose, and why?
4. Do you believe in the death-with-dignity legislation that has been discussed and passed in a few states? Please elaborate on your thoughts, feelings, and emotions on this topic.
