Any person that is put under severe stress, whether it's physical or mental, will undeniably do anything to save themselves. This means that any answer they give is clearly under duress and can't be considered true evidence.

I don't have statistics handy, but I'm willing to bet psychological torture is oftentimes just as detrimental (if not more so) in the long term than physical torture.
@9FBKFZXRepublican2yrs2Y
Physical torture can lead to more negative consequences for the defendant's country or homeland. Psychological appeals will simply cause truth to come about without causing physical harm.
@9FCP6362yrs2Y
that may or may not be true but we have to find out information somehow and physical torture is worse than psychological and there would be no evidence of psychological torture.
@9F87BJS2yrs2Y
Torture is inherently unreliable, as answers under duress are more likely to be made to please the people inflicting torture.
Both cause trauma but the impact of psychological trauma is stronger and can stay with the person for way longer than physical trauma.

The authorities should without fail be humane. If the authorities cease to be humane, by allowing any kind of torture, then they no longer have the moral high ground that gives them authority to begin with.
