Answer:

The correct answer will be- Yes

Explanation:

The doctrine of double effect refers to the explanation of the ethical doctrine which will have two consequences, the morality of the consequences will be decided by the intention of the consequences.

If the double effect doctrine results in bad results then the bad results will be accepted morally only if the bad results are the side effects of the doctrine.

In the given question, providing the chemotherapy can kill the fetus then doctors can justify the doctrine using the double effect as the killing of the fetus is a side effect.

Thus, yes is the correct answer.
