Seems to me like the question and the video have little to do with each other.

In the video as I understand it, the thief was caught in the act. So "suspect" is a bit misleading, though perhaps technically correct, I'm not sure.

Also, I wouldn't call that "torture".

Now was it more violent that necessary? Seems so, but I can't be sure without seeing it from a better angle.

I think a warning or an investigation is in order, but prison time? No. Not just for this anyway.

If they were actually torturing a suspect, then yes, they should do prison time.

Like many have pointed out, as long as it doesn't harm others, yes.

That doesn't mean they are free from consequences or criticism.

Of course they can co-exist.

Morality is something defined by the individual.

It is entirely up to the scientist to not let his search for knowledge override what he thinks is right.

That is not to say we should leave it up to a single individual to not break the ethics and laws agreed upon by society.

However that has little to do with whether or not the two can co-exist.

Now if the actual question is whether we should pursue science regardless of the consequences, then of course not.

I believe he meant that morality is subjective.

Most would agree that raping children is bad.

What about something like abortion?

Many people would argue it's immoral, but about as many would dispute that.

I fail to see how being a rape victim makes it okay if otherwise it is not.

Is the baby somehow more guilty for being created from rape? Does it have less of a right to existence?

It sounds to me like you're pro-choice. Only you feel bad about the occasional necessity, which is fine.

In the very beginning of pregnancy there is no question about it.

As long as it's not self-aware it's absolutely the parent's choice.

The more interesting question is at what point in the pregnancy does it become inappropriate?
