Doctrine of Double Effect

The Doctrine of Double Effect is a questionable idea that states that the intention with which an action is performed affects the ethicality of the action. It states that there is a distinction between performing an action with the intention of causing an ethically questionable result and performing an action without the intention of causing the ethically questionable result.
