Does it matter? Assume you have no way to stop the torture from happening, if that helps.



Yes, it matters. If it were a child rapist, I'd do what I could to make sure the torture lasted longer and was worse...

Fine, point taken. Assume then that, whatever the reasons for them being tortured, you have no specific desire to see this person tortured.

Impossible. There is no one I have no desire of seeing tortured.

So you wish everyone was tortured until they die?

Can I talk to the person before I make the decision?

I'm hoping you knew what I meant. EXCEPT killing them yourself, obviously.

You folks are making this too complicated, so let me just rephrase it again.

It comes down to you killing the person yourself or them being tortured very slowly by other people until they die. You don't get to watch them die unless you do it yourself. If you don't know the person then you will not be given a chance to know them. You don't know WHY they will be tortured and killed. You have no other information to go on.

Your only choice to make then is killing them yourself or allowing them to suffer a slow and painful death.
