UT: thus the qualifier, for pleasure (where pleasure is the sole and efficienct cause for the person inflicting the pain).
Innoculting an infant agaist disease, even where it causes discomfort, is a very different thing from giving a baby the disease for the sole purpose of watching it suffer. One would be a justifiable act, the other is clearly not. An interesting thought experiment, but it doesn't fit the initial conditions. -sm |
