Human dignity is not a controversial idea and by sheer numbers the very idea of speciesism is. perhaps contested is a better word? human dignity is contested by those who claim it is a form of speciesism? 64.89.153.51 11:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)rachel
Rachel, Dignity is controversial, in that there are quite a number of people/writers/politicians/philosophers/journalists/etc. who believe that the term is not only contestable in terms of its definition, but controversial in terms of its application. see e.g. the presidents bioethics commission. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xingbot (talk • contribs) 01:14, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Proposal
[edit]I request polite comment on whether the section on the German Constitution should be moved to the article: Dignity. In my opinion, the section--because it illustrates the difficulty of applying laws which have no rational foundation would--with a few changes--fit well with the article:Dignity.

- Pyrrhon - I'm about to merge the two articles into this article (per the AfD discussion), and that section will be moved over as well. give me a bit - I'm working on it now. --Ludwigs2 01:29, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit]pursuant to this AfD discussion, I'm merging this article into Dignity. most of the material has been transferred, though it needs more integration at the moment. --Ludwigs2 02:15, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
