 note = {Since the end of the Second World War, “human dignity” has been frequently used in international declarations and national constitutions. The concept, however, has become controversial in bioethics recently, because it is so vague that it can be invoked to fortify opposing arguments on the same issue. Therefore some critics call it useless or even harmful. In this paper I will point out two other drawbacks of the idea of equal dignity of all human beings, including individuals with severe cognitive disabilities. First, it is grounded in religious faith, which fails to query whether the chimpanzee or Homo neanderthalensis has the same kind of dignity as Homo sapiens. Second, it is inconsistent, considering the fact that quite a number of people prefer “death with dignity” to staying alive when they are irreversibly incapacitated and lose their sense of agency.},
