Using the Christian ethical principles of the sanctity of life, respect for autonomy, and the doctrine of double effect, evaluate whether the doctor's participation in assisted suicide is ethically permissible.

C. Not ethically permissible - it violates the doctrine of double effect but respects the sanctity of life, so the doctor must refuse.
