The Case of Torture

In the work “The Case of Torture” by Michael Levin, He believes that torture in some cases is a good thing.  He uses well thought out explanations why and gives good examples. one of his main examples is the use of torture of a man who has planted a bomb that will kill millions when set off. He says that the use of torture in this case is okay to use. he believes that even those it is unconstitutional, the millions of lives outweigh that factor (575). I on the other hand believe that there is another way to get the needed information out of him. On an episode of the Hit TV series Criminal Minds they used an alternative method to get information out of a terrorist. He was nice to the suspect, gained his trust, and had confidence and trusted the terrorist. Granted, this is not the first thing that comes to mind, but in that case it worked. Demanding and punishing doesn’t always work, you parents know that, so why not take a nicer alternative route?
