If the right to not be tortured is debatable, why do you refuse to debate me when I assert that it is absolute?

I'd love to debate you on it, but first I need to formulate my own thoughts.

Prima facie, there may be a case for there to be an absolute right not to be tortured, but depending on the moral framework - utilitarian, say - one can make a case for allowing torture in specific circumstances. Hence, not an absolute right.
