4. Irving is President, and has just been told that the Russians have launched an atom bomb
towards New York (population 8,550,405). The only way in which the bomb can be prevented
from reaching New York is by dropping one of our own atom bombs on Worcester (population
181,045): the blast of the American bomb will pulverize the Russian bomb. Irving can either do
nothing, letting all of New York die; or Irving can press a button, which launches an American
bomb onto Worcester, killing all of Worcester. The President asks you whether, if they choose
the second option, their action would be justifiable under the rule of the double effect. Which of
the following responses is most correct?
A. No, because RDE does not allow the morally objectionable effect to be a means to the
morally permissible one.
B. No, because the harm resulting from the destruction of Worcester outweighs the harm
resulting from destruction of New York.
