Many (but not all) of us on this list agree with Jazmyn that the
unforgiveable curses are unforgiveable because they're evil and that
Harry and his friends should not use them under any circumstances.
Here's one of my posts on the subject:

The "Bang! You're dead" and "Nature of the Unforgiveables" threads
contain a lot of recent discussion of this topic. You can easily find
them by doing a site search for "unforgiveable."
