The price of values

Can terrorists be tortured to extract confessions? If so, what can be done?
Can you force a confession by hurting relatives of terrorists? If so, what can be done?

In China, this is probably never a problem. There is no need to sublimate to any terrorist. A suspect who steals a bicycle is enough to drink a pot at the police station. Forget it, don't digress. It is meaningless to discuss this issue in the Chinese context.

Harvard law professor Michael Sandel's open class "Justice: What to do?" "(Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?) ( http://www.justiceharvard.org/ ), in the first section, a question is raised: "The train with brake failure is about to kill 5 workers on the track. In addition, There is a person on a track. As a train driver, would you pull the train onto a track with only one person? "

If you think you should "kill one and save five", then you might think this film is a bit boring, A group of FBI and military personnel were in the face of the national disaster, but they were chattering, wasting time, and finally making a big mistake. No gunfights, no car chases, no beauties and no heroes, what kind of bird movie is this? !

If you disagree with "kill one, save five", then what is your reason? What if there are not 5 people on the train track, but 50, 500, or even 5000? Do you still think you cannot "kill one (innocent) and save five thousand people"?

Will your values ​​change and why? Michael Sandel encouraged everyone to discuss this issue with his charming academic style in the class. The film Unthinkablev puts the nuclear bomb and the bloody interrogation scene before your eyes, forcing you to think about the price of the values ​​you insist on. ? Under what circumstances are you willing to change?

The H in the film needs others to strengthen his values; while the female FBI Brody yelled: "You Cann't do this, we are fu*king human being! Let the bomb go off! We can not do this!"

The cruelty of director Gregor Jordan lies in the last 10 seconds of the film. After these 10 seconds, will H and Brody stick to their previous decision?

How about you?
