Continuation of thoughts on torture.

It is clear that torture is frowned upon and is completely immoral. It is undeniable that it is morally wrong to cause and induce constant pain to someone. Some people even consider torture to be worse than killing because the tortured person is suffering and under pain for a long period of time. But there are always exceptions to everything. In the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, they is an article about torture, and they suggest the “ticking bomb” situation. It is evident that in this situation one must evaluate which side is the lesser of two evils. Is it morally right to allow thousands of people to die because you cannot get the terrorist to tell you where the bomb is? Or is it morally right to torture the terrorist to receive information on where the bomb is located so that you can save thousands of lives? The answer is blatantly obvious; we must allow torture in this situation to help save the thousands of innocent lives. Although torture is not morally right, in this distinct situation it is the moral decision that will inhibit the multiple terrorists from taking many innocent lives.
