The right to suicide is the safeguard of dignity.
But I do have a concept of the dignity of a person.
Imagine someone who is smart, virtuous, honorable, and has had a good impact on the world.
If he suffers a traumatic accident and becomes completely dependent on other people and is no longer himself, I think euthanasia is the dignified choice. It’s not pure utilitarianism.
So I have a concept of dignity. It’s just not what most people who use that term mean, which is something like “preserve life at all costs.”
