Torture is against the betterment of a morally superior society. If one nation were to claim moral or civilized superiority, only later to discovered to torturing prisoners, that country would logically lose (some of) its standing in the international world. In the increasingly globalized world, it is necessary to stay on good terms with most of the world. Additionally, numerous scientific reports have corroborated that torture doesn't provide more or higher quality information than normal (non-torture) interrogation techniques. However, I know the reply (if any) to this post will question me with a moral paradox (maybe there's a hundred people around a potential bomb and we can only torture the bomber to disarm the bomb). I must stop that person there and just say that we attempt multiple angles at once, but do not torture the suspect. We interrogate them in the normal (if stressed) level, meanwhile evacuating the area or containing the bomb. Side: Nope, NEVEH!!

torture is so not acceptable! it is true that when you torture someone he/she will say anything that will get them to be reliefed and even when it is false! you would be torturing someone without knowing whether it is in vein or not! thus it would make you the bad guy! even when it is the correct person you are torturing it will still be meaningless so why bother and waste your time cause in both cases you will be not benefiting....anyway torture is morally and ethically unacceptable Side: Nope, NEVEH!!
