Gce Model Questions Vol1 2020 Christian Religious Studies Question 22
Practice objective / multiple choice question 22 from the 2020 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Christian Religious Studies examination.
Dr. N is treating a pregnant woman with a life‑threatening infection. The only effective drug, Drug X, will cure the mother but carries a 30 % risk of causing fetal death. According to the principle of double effect in Christian ethics, an action is morally permissible only if: (i) the act itself is good or neutral, (ii) the good effect is intended, (iii) the bad effect is not intended (though it may be foreseen), and (iv) the good effect is proportionally greater than the bad effect. Does administering Drug X satisfy these conditions and therefore is it morally permissible?
