rejected.content: It is impossible to say that either option is "better" because the situation depends on so many individual circumstances. Whether it is better to take the risk of potentially allowing 1000 people to be tortured or killing 1 person to protect them all depends on factors such as whether the 1 person who could be killed is directly responsible for the threat of torture and the severity of the torture. The only "correct" answer lies within the scope of each specific situation.
