Foot – Abortion and the Doctrine of Double Effect

Post on a topic of your choosing, or:

-Try to explain the doctrine of double effect and give an example of where it might be at work. Is anything confusing about the idea? Anything objectionable? Explain what you’re confused about or object to.

-Foot makes an analogy between a runaway tram and a judge considering whether to punish an innocent person (see p. 2). Explain and evaluate her analogy. What claim is she making and is it persuasive? (Note: this paper is the origin of discussions of trolleys in moral philosophy)
