Some case of torture are minimally, morally acceptable.

1. Torture is considered to be the deliberate infliction of severe painful distress, where the person undergoing the procedure is helpless, in order to leave the person no choice but to give into the demands of the torturer. 2. Human Beings are entitled to their own beliefs. Torturing a person for the sake of disagreeing with their belief does not make their belief depart. Different societies and different religions and groups have different views on numerous things. Saying or physically inflicting pain into a person does not make the belief go away. Terrorists are often quite similar to dogmatists. A dogmatist is someone that will not change their belief no matter what you do to try and change it. Most terrorists live like this, so how would torturing a person like that make their beliefs stop? 3. Torture in most instances is abused and unnecessary. When torturing someone, there is no guarantee that the person being tortured has correct or accurate information. When torturing someone, it habitually transpires that the torturer gets very caught up into the torture that they go beyond the limits, therefore making it murder. 4. Torture is not always used In circumstances. Interrogating a person could suffice, rather then torture the person and make them feel as if they are near death. Just because someone is tutored does not mean it will prevent acts of terrorism. 5. My opponent"s claim for number five too vague. What is the definition of humane? What are the standards to consider something humane? What is it that terrorists do to the people they capture? 6. Moral is a standard for acceptable or not acceptable behavior with in society. Different societies and different groups have their own view on what moral is morally right and what is morally wrong. What is morally right in an opposing society can be morally wrong in our society. Who are we in our own society to go into other countries, into other societies and torture the people their because we do not agree on their beliefs or values. 7. The Claim in my opponents argument number seven is Irrelevant to the argument. What does the adage "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" have to do with whether or not torture is minimally morally acceptable? 8. My opponent has some inconsistencies in her argument. The vague and irrelevant claims inside the argument make it hard to understand that some cases of torture are minimally morally justified. Therefore , all cases of torture are never minimally morally justifiable. It is clear that my opponent and I do in fact agree on the meaning of torture. Torture is the deliberate practice of forcing someone who is helpless to say or do something or the intentional infliction of extreme physical suffering on some non-consenting, defenseless, other person for the purpose of breaking their will and giving into the demands of the torturer .However we disagree on some other concepts regarding torture. Claim number two can be controversial. Some may argue that people are not entitled to their own beliefs. However different societies do have different beliefs. For example the Taliban and Al Qaeda Do not agree with our beliefs. Torturing a person from one of these groups will not magically make the belief dismiss. Claim number three also follows this. Just because a person is a Muslim does not necessarily mean that they are affiliated with a terrorist organization. It is often seen in the United States that innocent people are tutored because of their race. US officials torturing Muslims because they are racist toward Muslims and not based on substantial evidence. Claim number four may be considered controversial that torturing a person does prevent acts of terrorism. However the wrong person might be tortured, the timing of the torture might be too late, not preventing an attack. The person being tortured might also be completely irrelevant to the circumstance and be innocent. My opponent and I agree on claim number six. We both see eye to eye on our definition of Moral, Moral is a standard for acceptable or not acceptable behavior with in society.
