Suppose that some prisoners have information that will save a large number of lives. The only way to obtain the information is to threaten to kill the prisoners, but you know they will not reveal what they know unless your threat is serious. To show them how serious you are, you have one prisoner shot before their eyes. Because of your action, the information is revealed and many lives are saved. Is killing the one prisoner morally justified? Explain by using the principle of double effect and the Pauline principle.
