Re: Torture
Just want to add that an individual act can be moral, but that does not necessarily mean it should be legal, nor should immoral acts be illegal.
e.g. God visits me and tells me that my next door neighbour's brand new baby will turn out to be the world's biggest ever serial killer unless I act. For whatever reason, I am sure that this is actually God, but I am sworn not to reveal too many details. It is probably moral for me to kill the baby. But clearly the government should not allow people to kill if they claim God told them so.
