Today, I'm going to express my view on these 2 terms again. Just now, I chanced upon an intriguing article in my AS textbook- A terrorist plants an atomic bomb in a place that is unknown to anyone. And this bomb is going to explode in a few days' time.In addition, this explosion would most certainly claim the lives of millions of people.
After days of intensive search for the terrorist, he is finally caught. One worrying thing to note- notwithstanding pleading with him repeatedly to disclose the whereabouts of the bomb, he simply refused to bulge on his position.
My question to you is, will you approve the use of torture which could potentially salvage the lives of millions of people? On the one hand, torturing has always been perceived as an act that is distasteful and inhumane, but on the other hand, it could be use in this case to save millions of lives. I would like to propose to you on the tools for managing this problem- analysis by implementing both categorical imperative and utilitarianism concepts.
