    Description
    Thesis; [FULL-TEXT FREELY AVAILABLE ONLINE]
     
    Stephanie L. Foster is a member of the Class of 2016 of Washington and Lee University.
     
    In this paper, I will argue that despite philosophers' and legal theorists' attempts to justify the use of torture in certain situations, torture has always been and will always be universally morally impermissible. [From Introduction]
