RE: Is torture ever ethical?
Well you are free to contact your politians and bring up that the start changing the law, so that the law improof.
... save life of a child ... and adult would not count?
I say this to point to the problems, if it came to a law.
Till what age a child is a child is it 8, 12 or 15?
Or on the other side, what about a president that plans together with army leaders an attack to a country to a group of people ... would it be legal to kill them?
I understand what you try to tell me, for sure. I only try to show you the simple basic point: if we tollerate breaking law in one case ('for a good reason'), an other will follow 'for a good reason' and an other one, etc. where will will end up?
I think we we both got what the other say / mean.
Thanks for talk, hav ea good time!
