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.

Is fitness more important than body weight?
NISA [10]
Hi :)

Yes, I think it does not matter what shape or size your body is, it is very vital to move around, and not sit all day.
For those who are weighing themselves every day, their self-esteem lowers if they gain weight, which is why I do not weigh myself as I do not think a number should control me and what I eat.

Exercise! You have legs and arms for a reason, and they are not for sitting or lying down all day!

Even if you weigh 150kg, you can still exercise, move your body, walk, run or do a workout, but do not be effected by a number on the scales.

Hope this helps!
