Ok sooo torture is defined as:
1.
a. Infliction of severe physical pain as a means of punishment or coercion.
b. An instrument or a method for inflicting such pain.
2. Excruciating physical or mental pain; agony: the torture of waiting in suspense.
3. Something causing severe pain or anguish.
With this being said, there is no such thing as humane torture. Now if we will turn our heads to article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights it clearly states âNo one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.â
Despite any crime one might commit, we should all be seen as equal under the eyes of the law and no one should be mistreated or degraded in any way.
âThe state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.â
This is a quote from John Locke in his Two Treaties on Government in the Second Treatise, which basically says⦠donât hurt other people in any wayâ¦â¦.
Frankly, I donât know what else to say after spewing out facts. So to conclude, In my opinion torture is cruel and wrong. Weâre all stuck in this world together so we might as well make the most of itâ¦peacefully.
