He called for the public health community to develop an empirical understanding of ill health through the fundamental concept of dignity. This article explores definitions of dignity and presents a model to demonstrate how violations of dignity may cause chronic stress...
In this review of Leon Kass’s Life, liberty and the defense of dignity and Deryck Beyleveld and Roger Brownsword’s Human dignity in bioethics and biolaw. I consider the prospects for a theory of dignity as a basis for bioethics research. I argue that dignity theories are worth exploring in more detail, but that research needs to consider both ‘‘antitheory’’ accounts of the language of bioethics...
