I had to pick an ethics final today to work on and I was going to to abortion but someone already took that one.
So I picked the next easiest one.
Waterboarding: Is it wrong?
Basically I have to give facts and arguments supporting both sides, then say which one I'd choose.
For those of you who dont know what waterboarding is, it is when you are strapped or held down on some platform
You are then tilted to that your head is below your chest.
They then sometimes cover your mouth but sometimes they dont. They then start dumping/pouring water on your face and body. Your mouth sinuses and trachea are flooded with water. They do this until you are A) Either about to throw up B) Go unconscious or C) Give them what they want
After the water floods into your sinuses and trachea your lungs collapse and water is drawn toward your lungs, but your coughing keeps the water near your mouth. They use to mainly to interrogate terrorists.
Oh and I believe the Navy Seals are waterboarded
This wont really affect you too bad physically but mentally it is aweful.
