[Debate] Ethics: If you needed to do this, would you?

[Senju Bean]

Say a violent criminal is about to end your life, and you have no defense whatsoever. No ifs or buts, let's just say you are defenseless.


However, you suddenly have a magical power to stop the criminal and you are somehow suddenly made completely aware of the fact.


The power paralyzes the attacker, at the cost of him/her suffering hundreds of years of intense torture in their own mind while only 1 second passes in ours, just like Tsukuyomi. Unlike Tsukuyomi, you can't control/hold back torture. It just happens to the attacker instantly the moment you decide to use it.

However, you get to survive, using this only possible defense.

Is this justified?

Some argue that torture is never justified?

But I just came up with a hypotheical that might be. Sure it's unrealistic, but makes for good argument nonetheless.

Ill turn to Dexter on that fool real quick.

Well when you do bad things you should expect the worst.

 

[Senju Bean]

Well when you do bad things you should expect the worst.

Technically, in my scenario, the attacker would have suffered more pain than any human has ever.

This literally would be the worst type of torture.



Even worse than burning alive those on death row.

 

[GhostProject]

I'll live. I hate torture, but it being a by-product here is beyond my control

 

[Pyro NB]

completely justified

He gonna be a faithful person after though.

 

[Fair Game]

I think in that situation it would be allowed per say.

It was self defense.

 

[Cunning Linguist]

I'd steal his girl too

 

[Senju Bean]

I think in that situation it would be allowed per say.

It was self defense.

Except, it destroys the attacker 1000 times over.

If the attacker connects, the death would be quick and painless in comparison

 

[Songbird Supreme]

I don't think I'd be able to do that to someone...

 

[ANiMUS]

If my life was at stake then I wouldn't hesitate for a second to put that guy in tsukuyomi. I will deal with whatever guilt comes later.:bdpf:

Is it justified as moral? yeah self defense is self defense it was my only way out

 

[Angelic.]

only if the genjutsu is them listening to beiber xD

 

[Cunning Linguist]

only if the genjutsu is them listening to beiber xD

You monster

 

[-Punk-]

Don't matter your life is at risk duh, he is defintely getting rape on that cross with one hundred me talking.

 

[Kaneki Kun]

Why is this even a question?
Yes, I would put him/her in Tsukyomi even when he/she is locked up.

 

[Senju Bean]

Remember, this isn't just self defense.

By defending yourself, you are imposing a far worse fate to him than what he was trying to do to you.

 

[Anduril]

Depends on what you did to make him attack you. If he just randomly or for the sake of gain or anger wants to kill you. Then the best course of action is to use that power and slit his throat while you are running away.

 

[Multiply]

Yes it's justified. Why would I put my life below that of someone else?
