Deception and the Principle of Double Effect
Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics 17 (4):471-472 (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. What I wish to show in this brief perspective is that an overlooked element in the discussions of this principle raises a serious question about its applicability.Other Versions
