These techniques are not intended to cause death (though some of the harsher techniques may inadvertently cause death through e.g. heart attack or infection), though some may cause permanent physical/psychological harm. The question is which are ever justifiable, so you may imagine an interrogation subject who is ridiculously guilty of unimaginable crimes if you wish, the only stipulation is that the subject is human and is of majority age (e.g. 18).
