Overview
You are a freelance journalist.

She has asked you to read and analyze three articles, each making an argument about whether or not torture can ever be considered ethical. It is your job to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the three articles’ arguments and to consider what two important philosophers, John Stuart Mill and Immanuel Kant, would have to say about them.
