This is probably a terse way to look at it; so, private apologies there. Perhaps it is a good question to flesh out. I'm no expert, nor perhaps do I even have the right terminology, but I'll explain why I think these things are wrong. Note please that I make no direct-correlation between what's legal and ethically/morally wrong.
[INDENT]Having sex with underage people is unethical because it carries with it likely results which can damage minds where they're not prepared psychologically for sexual expression. Through sexual activity with adults, young minds are usually traumatized and end up developing various behavioral and neurological dysfunctions including post traumatic stress disorder, depression, substance abuse and much more (here's a basic summary of the phenomena (

[/INDENT][INDENT]Snuff porn includes executing someone as part of the actual filming/formulating of that type of pornography. Since this involves killing a human being, I'd hope there's no need to explain why that might be wrong.
[/INDENT][INDENT]Women being Tortured: Torture is unethical because it involves purposefully inflicting pain on someone. No living thing that can feel pain should be exposed to any pain unless such is absolutely unavoidable. Based on the idea of mutual coexistence and reciprocity; we can exist together only with the spoken or unspoken agreement that what I inflict on you isn't something I'd be OK with inflicting on myself.
[/INDENT]Like I mentioned above... these things seem rather self-evident. Why would we ask? To perhaps just 'remind'? Or are there other/larger issues intended?
Thanks
Please allow me to make some further comments towards your negative attitude towards this thread.
Sure it is a very serious topic, implicating alot of negative feelings and emotions, but we'r at a philosophy forum, where it is very nessesary to discuss the negative things of life, to know how we should judge and handle such things, we can't just turn our backs to such things, and only try to live in our idealistic world.
The chatholic church has tryed such thing, and only produced extremely naive and ignorent chrildren, who was very vunerable to manipulation, deception, iability to judge, understand and comprehend simple things in life, because they only knew of the bible and very simple schooling.
At some time in USA, a phedo dude was released from prison, but couldn't live anywhere as all the towns would chase him out, but a wise group of women would actually accept him to stay, out of the philosophy that it was better to know where he was, than he could randomly come and molest random chrildren without their knowledge, by having him in a fixed house, they always knew where he lived and by neighbour watch they could thereby track him, and alert eachother. With the weaponlaw they had arms, and could legally gun him down should he try molest any of the children.
..embrace your fears, and rule it, never push it away as it can bounce back and hit you when you have your guard down.
