About moral dilemma

On October 13th, we discussed moral dilemma.
There was a mad man who hid bombs. He was in court, but he did not say anything about where he hid bombs. If the bombs exploded, hundreds of people will die. Also, time limit is short. Polices wanted the man to tell the place where he put the bombs. However, he had a against self-incrimination. Officials thought the last way to make him say the truth. It was torture to his wife. Of course, she was innocent, but they thought there was no way beside it.
The question was “Do you agree with doing torture to his innocent wife?” I disagree with the idea, because I do not think torture to his innocent wife is not certain way to know the place of bombs. Ordinary men would feel guilty if their wives were done torture. However, the man was mad, so it is possible that he does not feel anything, and he does not understand that his wife’s situation. If the wife die and the mad man did not say anything, it has no means. More importantly, the wife is innocent. Doing torture to innocent people is guilty.
I think that officials have to search by themselves. In my group, all of us were disagree with the idea. We changed our each opinion, and told an\bout new way to find the bombs. As a result, our group decided to use polygraph. We hear the man “Did you hide here?” with a map, and choose the area. There are not enough time to explode the bombs. So, I think it is the best way.
