The authors look closely at the often cited Rule of Double Effect and argue that, in some cases, a physician can legitimately claim to have acted within the Rule's parameters. In other cases, however, physicians can abuse the notion of unintended consequences. The test case they offer concerns palliative care that causes foreseeable death.
作者们仔细研究了常被引用的双重效应原则,并认为,在某些情况下,医生可以合理地声称其行为符合该原则的范围。然而,在其他情况下,医生可能会滥用意外后果的概念。他们提供的测试案例涉及导致可预见死亡的姑息治疗。
