Evangelization and Catechesis
Yes. Para. 1737: An effect can be tolerated without being willed by its agent; for instance, a mother's exhaustion from tending her sick child. A bad effect is not imputable if it was not willed either as an end or as a means of an action, e.g., a death a person incurs in aiding someone in danger. For a bad effect to be imputable it must be foreseeable and the agent must have the possibility of avoiding it, as in the case of manslaughter caused by a drunken driver. In this instance, the death of the patient was not willed as an end by either the doctor or the patient, nor was the death of the patient the means by which the pain of the patient was to be relieved.
