Quote by: Simonius  I think he raises a valid point, in those experiments people gave strangers apparently fatal doses of electricity purely because another stranger in a lab coat asked them to.
To say that ripping off finger nails is completely different may be true, but its only relevant if you decide that the sole definition of torture is ripping finger nails off! |
The point is not so much what torture is, but how many people are capable of physically doing it to someone, anyone can push a button because its easy to do.
However ripping off someones fingernail with a a pair of pincers lifting it straight up being the favoured tool, or applying a blowtorch to the soles of someones feet, is a another matter all together.
Do you honestly think all those people who were seen in this silly study as possible torturers, could do this as well?
