Hi all, list newbie here :)

I would have thought that they were illegal for the very reasons that
the actions they perform are illegal.. As someone said, AK is
premeditated murder, cruciatus is plain torture/assault. Imperius on
the other hand doesn't have a paralell, but I would have thought that
anything that aims to control someones mind would be a Bad Thing :)

Someone else mentioned about Voldemort, and if he could be AK'ed... I
would guess that even if he could, the "good guys" wouldn't do it,
because it is stooping to Voldemorts level... To draw a real world
paralell it would be like decrying the use of landmines, and then planting
them yourself.

Hope that wasn't a bad first post, hehe :)
