If you resist the torture, Meryl is alive when you find her at the end of the game and you are able to escape the base with her. The outcome of this minigame affects the ending of the game. The fact that Solid Snake can submit to the torture or die from it is reliant on the player's presence. Training in such a thing comes with his field.
