chosen.content: No, torture can never be a good thing. Torture is an act of violence, and even if it sometimes results in getting valuable information, it always does serious and long-term psychological and physical damage to the victim. Additionally, even if it does provide useful information in the short term, it can lead to unreliability of confessions and information obtained through coercion or fear. It is always wrong to use violence to gain information, and there are far more effective and less damaging ways of collecting information.

rejected.content: No, in most cases torture is never a good thing, because it often leads to false confessions, serves as a form of cruel and inhuman punishment, and does not produce reliable information that can be used to help prevent or solve crimes. In some exceptional cases, where there is an imminent threat and other sources of information have been exhausted, torture may be the only option left; however, in these cases it should be strictly regulated and monitored in order to ensure that it does not cross any lines and cause even more harm.
