Abstract
This article questions the conclusions drawn by the author of "The Mirena® Levonorgestrel-releasing Intrauterine System and Its Application to the Treatment of Menorrhagia: A Moral Opinion" (Linacre Quarterly 75 [2008]: 60–70), i.e., that it is justified to use this intrauterine device to treat heavy periods of unknown etiology by the principle of double effect.
