Neco 2025 Christian Religious Studies Question 15

According to Catholic moral teaching, the principle of double effect applies when four conditions are met: (1) the action itself is morally good or neutral, (2) the good effect is intended, (3) the bad effect is not intended, and (4) there is a proportionately serious reason. A doctor must administer a life‑saving medication that will also cause the death of a fetus. The doctor's primary intention is to save the mother's life, the death of the fetus is an unintended side‑effect, and the mother's life is a proportionately serious reason. The medication also relieves the mother's severe pain, a secondary good effect. Which condition of the principle of double effect is NOT satisfied in this situation?
