Beschreibung
This work is an effort to ethically evaluate Human Dignity as the basis for both anti and pro torture scholars. It questions what Dignity portends to man and also considers what it means to be a human person. It believes that a good understanding of human dignity and by extension, human person will facilitate a better argument for or against enhanced interrogation. Is dignity given or attained? What should serve as the basis for human dignity? Does dignity exonerate man from facing the consequences of his actions? What if man poses as a threat to fellow man, do we use because he is dignified and do nothing? In other words, is torture in a ticking bomb scenario not justifiable? In view of the above questions, the work questions the absolute ban on torture thereby submitting that torture should remain banned but with a caveat that exceptions should be given to some extenuating circumstances.
