Ethical hypo: 1) If you could waterboard/torture an informant - TopicsExpress



          

Ethical hypo: 1) If you could waterboard/torture an informant and that information would have definitely (for the purposes of the hypo) prevented the Sydney terrorist kidnapping, saving two lives, would you authorize it? 2) Same question, but you could prevent the terrorist attack of schoolchildren in Pakistan, saving 150+ lives? Would you authorize it? 3) Same hypo: But now you would have to waterboard/torture 5 people, and only one of the five would give the necessary information. Meaning four people would not know anything. Would you authorize it?
