Should we ever try to slow down innovation or technological advances?
As we've seen throughout the history of America, the cheaper labor will succeed in automation and innovation creates new jobs. Like we saw in class, most newspapers feared the rise of "robots" or technology as they continually destroyed american jobs. Can we ask american people to stop creating or stop inventing to prevent the loss of jobs? Would becoming stagnant in our business pursuits benefit everyone, the workers, or no one?

Terrorism and Torture
WASHINGTON—Most Americans and a majority of people in Britain, France and South Korea say torturing terrorism suspects is justified at least in rare instances, according to AP-Ipsos polling. The United States has drawn criticism from human rights groups and many governments, especially in Europe, for its treatment of terror suspects. President Bush and other top officials have said the U.S. does not torture, but some suspects in American custody have alleged they were victims of severe mistreatment. The polling, in the United States and eight of its closest allies, found that in Canada, Mexico and Germany people are divided on whether torture is ever justified. Most people opposed torture under any circumstances in Spain and Italy. “I don’t think we should go out and string everybody up by their thumbs until somebody talks. But if there is definitely a good reason to get an answer, we should do whatever it takes,” said Billy Adams, a retiree from Tomball, Texas. In America, 61 percent of those surveyed agreed torture is justified at least on rare occasions. Almost nine in 10 in South Korea and just over half in France and Britain felt that way.
Do you agree with most Americans that the use of torture is sometimes morally permissible in fighting terrorism? If so, what circumstances do you think would justify torture? If not, why not? How might a Natural Law Theory justify (or oppose) torture? How Natural Law theorist argue against torturing suspected terrorists?
