Eight Blog Assignment

I choose Michael Levin’s who wrote “The Case for Torture”.  He is arguing if there are situations in which torture is appropriate and is it unconstiutional.  The author says torture is intended to keep harm from others even though it will not bring that person back to life.  He uses many examples to back up his argument.  In life, saving innocent people and taking those who are guilty are very serious.  Life is valuable and taking others as a guilty person is not humane.  He presents justification for the use of torture in situations of extreme desperation. Levin provides potential counter arguments and proves why they are invalid. It is clear that he believes that torture is morally mandatory and makes effort to sway the opinion of readers and keeping an open mind. He presents a great argument and organiazes his ideas.
