Consequentialism, Active Euthanasia, and Passive Euthanasia

Consequentialism holds that, when evaluating the moral rightness or wrongness of an action, the only thing that matters is the consequence of that action. Everyone allows that consequences matter, but are consequences all that matter? Does this mean it is just as bad to fail to save someone's life as it is to directly murder someone? Is the intention with which we act irrelevant? Is it permissible to harm the innocent to bring about a greater good? This video discusses introduces three different kinds of response to these questions (consequentialism, the doctrine of doing and allowing, and the doctrine of double effect). Furthermore, this video covers how James Rachels' distinction between "active and passive euthanasia" fits into this framework (and informs the debate on the ethics of euthanasia).
