Torture

Okay, I am inferring that what if the "interrogation or non-harmful tactics" did not clearly work then therefore in that case torture would be the only answer. Like I said what if a suspect does not want to say the information and there is a little kid who is in danger. The authorities have tried everything they can in order to gain that information. Then what would have been the answer in to force the suspect to talk. In this case it would be torture. Because the authorities won"t let the poor little kid die. If the authorities just left the kid die then they would there conscious would never be okay. In that case the authorities would believe that torture is the moral thing to do. When I said "at the end of the day everyone does the same" , I meant that people tend to do something bad and hide it by doing something else. In this case you say that torture is bad therefore the torturer may do something but in order to protect the other person they give them a new life. Which I believe is good. 1.)Torture is the intentional infliction of extreme physical suffering on some non-consenting defenseless, other person for the purpose of breaking that will. 2.)Moral is the distinction code of rules of what kind of behavior is acceptable or unacceptable. 3.) Minimal is a small amount of an object or content 4.)Torture can be used to gain information in various situations. For example if one does not torture then there may be a human at risk. 5.)The information that one might have, may be dangerous for others. 6.)Dangerous is where a human may be risking their life. 7.)Terrorists can be tortured if they obtained information about an attack that will happen. 8.)Polices can torture an individual if they are certain that the individual has information about an innocent victim who may be in danger 9.)A kidnapper can be tortured because the innocent may be in danger and only the kidnapper knows where the innocent is hidden. 10.)Killing is not the same as torture but is considered a less significant than torture. 11.)There are some instances that are minimally, morally justified torture. The definition of torture was not discussed. Since we both had the same definition. "Torture is the intentional infliction of extreme physical suffering on some non-consenting defenseless, other person for the purpose of breaking that will" The definition of moral was controversial. We both had different point of views for the word morality. In which my opponent had thought that I meant moral is subjective. In which I might have inferred so but that is not the case. The definition of minimally was not discussed because my opponent did not have another definition. Meanwhile the premise regarding the information that one might have may be dangerous for others, was discussed. But still I feel as if that premise can still be true because it was never proven false. The definition of dangerous was not controversial at al. meaning it was not discussed. The premise which involves terrorists was controversial. My opponent had stated that there would be different options. Although I still believe that it was a good premise because honestly to terrorists the most accurate and efficient way to get information from them is simply torture. Same goes for a police torturing a suspect for information regarding a victim. My opponent had claimed that torture is unlawful and it should not be done. I still believe that one like a police has the responsibility to protect a citizen even if it consists of torturing. So for the premise which involves the kidnapper being tortured was also discussed. In my opinion I don"t believe that it was proven false. After all it is hard to be proven otherwise because the suspect may have information so the authorities have the conscious to torture the suspect. In my first premise I said that accidental killing is not worse than torture but yet we are discussing how torture is horrible. Yes I must admit I did say accidental killing which would not make sense. Therefore in my new premise I have replace it with simply "killing".
