Impaired consent due to “necessity” (as understood by St Thomas Aquinas)
Something I didn't know but I learned today was about bad consequences prior to the actual act being committed as able to be applied to the fear associated within the circumstance where rational deliberation is possible prior to the actual act chosen but precisely because of fear of the future there is coercion in the circumstance making the action deliberated partially involuntary and therefore are grounds to mitigate subjective responsibility/culpability of grave sin.

Both philosophical freedom as well as physiological freedom constitute “deliberate consent”, and unless both are present, a person cannot be fully culpable of evil actions chosen, even if it is with full knowledge and the act is of grave matter.
