Torture and human dignity
This video illustrates the fascinating aspect of ethics, that situations are not always black or white, and that moral decisions require a careful weighing of the situation before deciding how to respond.
Addendum
Also, from a religious perspective it raises the very important issue in respect to the false belief that God uses physical and psychological eternal torture to punish humans.
After all, how does one morally go about exonerating such an act as being holy, and the perpetrator as being just? That would be tantamount to saying that theft, adultery, bestiality, and cruelty are Ok for a deity but not OK for humans. It just doesn't add up.
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
