Reply #63: that makes no sense whatsoever

The torture you are talking about has not happened yet.

The survivors of that crash did not "eat their friends," they ate their already dead bodies.

I find your relentless blurring of moral lines, and your refusal to speak in clear and straightforward terms about moral issues, very disturbing.

No one defends torture "in general." They make up specifics and hypothetical scenarios, and introduce confusion and ambiguity into the discussion. That is the way people defend torture, the only way. There is no other defense of torture, so your distinction here between real defenders of torture - those who do it "in general" - and you, who are merely innocently posing hypothetical scenarios and rationalizations, does not hold water.

You defended torture. If you did not mean to do that, it should be an easy matter to clear up any misunderstandings. "Winning" an argument with me does not clarify anything.
