We all use the term “human dignity” both often and gladly. This term exists also
in legislation, such as declarations and constitutions of some countries,
beginning from UNESCO, WHO, Council of Europe, and they all have the same
inspiration to achieve the same goal: protection of human dignity. Human dignity
seems as a principle connected with the protection of life itself, protection of
health, and is also connected with research. But, today it is far more difficult to
determine the meaning of this term and on what grounds it is based. Is human
dignity something objective or is it grounded on cultural values that vary
throughout history?
