freedom from torture should be an absolute right

You're smuggling in "absolute" without justifying it. If torture prevents a nuclear detonation killing millions, does the right remain absolute, or does it flex? You can't just declare something inviolable and expect the argument to end there. The real debate isn't whether torture is good, it's whether rights can ever be truly absolute when they collide with other catastrophic harms. Most serious philosophers abandon absolutism precisely because edge cases expose it as naive. You need to either defend why this right uniquely survives all competing scenarios, or admit your position isn't actually absolute, just really strong. Which is it?
