Preferred term

human dignity  

Definition

  • Human dignity is of central importance today, particularly in the fields of medical ethics and bioethics, as it represents a fundamental constituent of many contemporary constitutions, the most global being the Charter of the United Nations. It is, however, far from clear what the term human dignity means. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Human Dignity]
