To torture or not to torture is a very sensitive question. To side with torture or not to requires a lot of thought, research, and your ability to understand your own morals. The country has been debating this issue for quite some time and it has divided this nation on the issue of whether or not to close the facility that houses torture for terrorists. The facilities purpose is to stop terrorists from harming the US. Furthermore, there are four theories, utilitarianism, Kantian duty-based ethics, virtue ethics, and Christian-principle based ethics, that may answer the question of whether or not to allow torture in this country. The utilitarianism theory "is concerned with maximizing the benefit for the maximum number of people” (Holmes 43).
