The thumbscrew was basically utilized back in the medieval times and was mostly used when trying to receive a confession. “They were designed to slowly crush not only the fingers and toes, but larger devices were also used to crush knees and elbows” (Pegg, 2013). This form of torture will work perfectly during interrogations. The neck torture on the other hand was just made as an endurance test or a method of punishment. “It is a neck device that is usually made out of wood or metal with sharp ends” (Pegg, 2013). This torture technique allowed the victim to be very uncomfortable. In fact, “they were unable to eat, lie down or lower their heads for days” (Pegg, 2013). In conclusion, many of us would approve that torture is usually abnormal and disturbing, for various types of reasons. Whether it is ethically speaking or because we as citizens have rights and should obey those rights. However, we would also agree that terrorists, child molesters, and serial killers do not deserve the right to be treated with respect. They clearly have no sympathy for others and do not care about anyone’s feelings, so why should we care about
