How exactly should we define torture? Can torture be morally justified, and if so, in which cases? Can torture be used as an effective tool in times of war? Should torture be either legalized or institutionalized? Is there any difference between doing torture and merely allowing torture? What do some of the various moral theories have to offer us with regard to these questions? Some links you might want to visit before the meeting: Hope to see all of you there!
