“If the term “human dignity” has any meaning, and by human dignity we mean the notion that every person’s life has metaphysical value separate and apart from their biological existence, and that this value is the ultimate, most exalted thing society must protect, then the basic condition for ensuring human dignity is to allow people to exercise their right to live in the social and geographical frameworks that have formed who they are and have given meaning to their identity.”
