Mill would say that torture is acceptable if it increases the happiness of a greater amount of people than if the torture were not carried out.

Mills’ theory was that everyone should be happy. Not only should they be happy they should be equally happy‚ meaning no one should be no more or no less happy than anyone else. Mills’ parents believe that the only way to be happy is “self-happiness”. They believe that no one can make you as happy as you can.
