Torture is possibly the most infamous idea ever invented by humankind to cause destruction, death, bitterness, and war. Yet it is sometimes our salvation which makes me think that this grave injustice has to be justified. Do i support the methods of torture no but i do recongize and in a degree respect what it accomplishes in its product yes. I would rather subject one indiviual to all the cruelties of humankind then suffer with the deaths of millions. If torture is used to find out information that would protect and save the masses then it has to be done no matter the cost of the victim.

torture is justified under very certain and understandable circumstances. yes, the constitution does state that we have a right to trial and no cruel punishment, but there are circumstances. if there is a threat against the safety of this country and law enforcment has a source in possession and they need him to tallk i believe it is very justifying to find answers by torturing. why should we care about someone who wanted to hurt and kill thousands, maybe millions of our people? law enforcement should torture a terrorist or someone who knows information until they give all information needed. it's ok to harm a violent killer or conspirator for the sake of many other innocent lives.

Torture is one of man's most horrific and abysmal creations but even with that in mind it is still a necessary evil. We all know that terrorism is very real and there are many bad people out there that will try to do others harm, because of this we cannot just let them do as they wish and wait until they have already set their plans in motion to try and stop it. Tortue is one of the worst creations of mankind but it was created for the purpose of combatting another evil that must be stopped. We try and pretend that we ourselves are good and just but if we always use these clean methods then we will never be able to defeat the evils that wish to harm us. When a terrorist has hidden plans to try and commit a grave atrocity we need a way for him to have to tell us otherwise we will never be able to stop it. We sometimes must do unsavory things in order to secure the greater good after all.

Torture may be morally wrong; it may be a challenging act to perform because of the pain it causes. However, it can be justified. The old saying, "the end justifies the means", may be cliche, but it's true. If there is a plan to kill millions of people, and there is a captive who knows how to stop it, and torture is the only tool left, then so be it. Torturing one person who wants to take the lives of others to save those lives is justified. You can say that it's wrong, that they've stooped to the level of their own tortured victim, but if it gets the job done, then it should be used. There are two possible outcomes; in one, the people in charge refuse to subject pain to a person who is willing to kill and innocent lives are lost. Or, in the other, one horrible person is put in pain, but no one dies in the process. The moraly right decision is the second.

It's hard to say whether torture can be justified or not. Both sides having very oposing views, a person choosing one would have to think of their own sense of justice. Is torture an inhumane process or is it a tool to get information that can potentialy save hundreds? I find myself in the middle, but for the sake of argument I say yes, a very meek yes. Torture can be a "tool" that, used correctly, can save the lives of many, but at the cost of another's. Since I am American saving the thousands does outway the one.

While torture is inhumane and violent, it can be justified and possibly necessary in certain circumstances. When torture is used by morally corrupt people to just mess with people, it is socially accepted as wrong and disgusting. But when government forces use techniques of torture to obtain information to obtain information vital to national security, it is justified, but that does not mean it is morally correct or socially acceptable. Though some may disagree, torture is a just evil, meaning that although it is seemingly wrong, sometimes it is just necessary. Torture has led to the unveiling of plots to kill thousands of people, while the process of torture only hurts one. It is a decision worth making; make one suffer, save a thousand.

Take into consideration the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Those who take part in disgusting acts of torture should pay the consequences. If you feel it isn't justified, one of your points may be that it's too brutal, but I feel it's simply a way to make someone learn a lesson. It wouldn't be a cycle because, if you think about it, people who punish those who torture most likely work as someone who benefits the community. Also, know that physical torture isn't the only type of torture. In some cases just watching something take place does the trick. Think about this: You're driving down the street, hurrying to the movies to get there in time to get popcorn and candy, when you hit someone with your car and put them in the hospital. You wouldn't have to be hit by a car to learn your lesson. Perhaps you're introduced to the family of the individual you put in the hospital. After seeing the pained look on their faces, the agony you would feel would make that amount of torture an appropriate consequence.

What is torture, torture can be distributed into many categories. Torturing a baby by moving his little rattle away from him whenever he is in a learning process to crawl, it can be considered into torture for the baby but it does teaches the baby how to crawl, by doing so you can help the baby learn something he/she could have learned time from but in a more harder way. I think in this situation torture is justifiable. When you torture someone Who is innocent enough then torture is not justifiable, you can solve a problem in a lot of different ways but torture is not an option. Torturing someone to save a life can be justified, if you want to know who did the murder and torture is the only way you can give justice to the mudered peron, then you can use this method to investigate about the case. torture is done to a lot of people upon us but it does not mean that it is justifiable under harsh circumstances.

I think that torture can be justified only on rare occasions. Like if it's a matter of national securtity. Say, a terrorist has just been captured, and you know that somewhere in America a bomb is about to go off and many people will die if you dont get some kind of imformation from this person. You only have a certain amount of time before the detination, and the fugative refuses to make any bargins, or reveal any information. When it comes down to it you have to take a different, drastic approach to the problem. You have to torture the person to gain information. All other options have been exploited, this is your last and only option, unless ofcorse you choose to do nothing and let the bomb go off. I believe that only in this kind of circumstance is torture justified. It has to be a last resort.

Is torture the right decision? no. but can it be justified? yes. theres a very thin line but torture is justified in some situations. when torture saves the lives of thousands then it is justified but it should always be the last resort for making someone think the same way you do, after logic and reasoning.

Those who partake in repugnant acts of torture, have consequences to deal with in the end. If someone were to do something so wrong, torture could then be justified. For people who are innocent, torture is not even an option. For those that have taken the lives of many people, torture can then be justified because of the horrid acts they participated in.
