Can Dignity Lay the Foundation for Bioethics?:A Review of CHENG Xinyu's Human Dignity and Bioethics
In response to the question of whether dignity can be served as a foundation for bioethics,some scholars claim that dignity is a useless concept based on its relativity,overridingness and reducibility and therefore cannot lay the foundation for bioethics.In fact,the relativity of concepts cannot justify its useless.Dignity is by no means a useless concept.On the contrary,dignity becomes indispensable as the foundation of bioethics.Of course,acknowledging the usefulness of dignity does not necessarily mean advocating that dignity is invincible,irreplaceable,and supreme.In other words,dignity is one of the useful foundational concepts of bioethics,along with other values,it plays an important role in the relevant discussions of bioethics.
