Explain the ""principle of double effect"" and give an example that illustrates how it applies in a real-life situation.

Answer&Explanation:

This principle refers to those action which are legally permitted but are also likely to result to severe impact which wasn't initially intended like the death of a person as a side effect of the good action that was actual intended.

For example a doctor may give a patient some pills to relieve stress symptoms eventhough the doctor knows that this may have side effect such as actual shortening their life.

The doctor's intention are not to kill the patient but the death would be a side effect of the good results which are to reduce the patient's pain.

Another example is in the warfare where soldiers may go on a mission that requires that what ever action they take few civilian may get hurt in the process but the intention isn't to kill those civilian but it is a side effects of the good operation of eliminating the legitimate target which may be a threat to a country.

there are treatment options for depression (mdd) that may work for you. one way of treating depression may be to affect the levels of certain chemicals that brain cells use to communicate, called neurotransmitters. scientists believe that certain neurotransmitters may be out of balance in depression.

although the exact way depression medications shown to ease overall depression symptoms in some people work is unknown, scientists think that some medications work by affecting the levels of a neurotransmitter called serotonin in the brain. other treatments work by affecting the levels of other neurotransmitters like norepinephrine or dopamine.
