Click and Clack are rock climbing and tethered to the same rope. A rock falls and hits Clack in the head, knocking him unconscious. The spike holding them onto the cliff is also starting to come loose, and Clack's weight will soon cause both Click and Clack to fall to their death unless Click cuts the rope. Click cuts the rope in order to save his own life, knowing that this will almost certainly result in Clack plummeting to his death.

Suppose that a store owner finds that some of her beverages are poisonous. But she wants to make money and thinks to herself, "it is permissible for me to sell these, knowing they will likely kill the people who buy and drink them, because I am not directly intending their death. My intention is just to make money, and I would be perfectly happy if people buy the beverages but do not actually drink them." According to the doctrine of double effect, the store owner's action of selling the poisonous beverages is:
Permissible
Impermissible
Permissible but selfish.
It depends whether people actually drink the beverages.
