What is the principle of double effect? What circumstances govern the morally acceptable application of this principle? RESPONSE: The basic moral principle that we follow is to pursue and do good, and avoid that which is evil or bad (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 1732, 1955).[1] The principle of double effect is an ethical formula that enables someone to evaluate the moral dimensions of complicated moral issues that may involve consequences or side effects which are both positive and negative, good and bad. ow.ly/B0eQ9
