Do the ends justify the means?

It's tempting to believe that your ends can justify your means. We care about the result of our actions, and not how we get there. We can pursue our ideals without getting bogged down by technicalities or compromises. But this question is not so simple when it hinges on values that we hold dear like human life, well-being and fundamental rights. Do you believe that the ends justify the means?
