211. Is Torture Justifiable?

from Preconceived

Torture is generally thought of as a bad things - an unacceptable means to an end. But what if that end is justifiable? In many cases, torture is clearly unethical - for example when used as a means of political suppression, as a fear tactic, or for a forced confession.

Juan Mendez joins the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
