To make it current-day, is vaccinating babies torture? Or does the end (preventing uncomfortable/painful/deadly disease, which is a worse form of torture) justify the means?

(I'm not opposed to vaccination or whatever and don't want to make this a debate about that, but it's a good practical example of how it's a subject that you can't be absolute about, or being absolutist about e.g. not hurting babies does more harm to them)

> vaccinating babies torture

it's irrelevant for this discussion, as it's not for sport but other purpose

It is relevant to the broader discussion about universal ethics, though.
