What is torture? Torture, as defined by Article 1 of the 1984 Convention Against Torture, is the “cruel, inhuman or degrading” infliction of severe pain or suffering, physical or mental, on a prisoner to obtain information or a confession, or to inflict punishment for a suspected crime. Torture is an advanced physical interrogation technique that is more effective than other interrogation methods. Physical torture is the ultimate violation of the fundamental human rights of another human being; nothing and no one has the right to violate them. No one has the right to deliberately harm another human being with the aim of causing physical and emotional pain in the hope of obtaining uncertain information. However, some believe that people think this way because sometimes they don't know the full story of an incident, and what they know is enough to fuel anger and hatred in them. For those people, the question in mind is; why show remorse to these criminals? Torture is exactly what they deserve; it's exactly the right place to disgust terrorists where they can't hurt anyone. Torture has been outlawed under all circumstances and everywhere, but global terrorism could lead America to break the rules. American intelligence agents torture terrorist suspects or practice practices very close to torture. However, I believe that physical torture should not be legalized in the United States because it is immoral and costs us the moral progress we have been professing for over 200 years. It gives encouragement and relief to our enemies. It weakens the certainty of our people and military personnel regarding the importance of our core and our conduct. One reason to ban torture is to convince our enemies to do the same. “Cruel and unusual punishment” is prohibited by the United States' Eighth Amendment. The question everyone is asking is whether the torture of prisoners should be legalized. For my part, I believe that torture itself is immoral and inhumane. We are not in a position to violate anyone's fundamental human rights. Some believe the opposite, they do to them what they did to others, perhaps even worse. Yes, people make mistakes and deserve to be punished, but torturing them is not the answer. In many states where the death penalty is banned due to its gruesome nature, how can torture be resorted to? This is not justifiable in any way
