4. The Bomber
A madman who has threatened to explode several bombs in crowded areas has been apprehended. Unfortunately, he has already planted the bombs and they are scheduled to go off in a short time. It is possible that hundreds of people may die. The authorities cannot make him divulge the location of the bombs by conventional methods. He refuses to say anything and requests a lawyer to protect his fifth amendment right against self-incrimination. In exasperation, some high level official suggests torture. This would be illegal, of course, but the official thinks that it is nevertheless the right thing to do in this desperate situation.

Answer 1

Where did you get these questions, they are indeed very interest. What I wrote following is based on my own personality and general social value. You could definitely change them if you want to.
3. 1) I would give him an alibi. Although my daughter’s life and that of mine have been ruined by the guy who ripped my daughter, in terms of the murder case, he is innocent, at least appearing to be. At the day I saw him in the restaurant , ‘he is eating alone and look unhappy’. This shows that there may be something happened to him. Even though he might hire someone else to do it, the further investigation is needed. I won’t let a innocent person be sent to jail due to my own selfish and hostility.
2) whether to keep quiet or telling the truth
3) one’s personality, social value, human integrity, objectivity

4. 1) I would agree with the man’s request. The reasons are: firstly, he is a madman. If he really wants the bombs to explode, you can’t guarantee he will telling the truth by using torture and the torture could make the situation even worse. Secondly, everyone owns the human right, and even the high level officials cannot depart from the rule of law. Thirdly, the lawyer could talk to him and find out what made him so mad, and I believe that this is the most efficient and right way to solve this problem.
2) Torture him to find out the location to save hundreds of lives
Do not torture him, but may run out of time and bombs will be exploded
3)professional behaviour: conduct yourself in a manner consistent with the good reputation of the profession and refrain from any conduct that might bring discredit to the profession

Answer 2

moral questions always hard to answer and always have different answers,and it depends on what the personality of yourself。
