Going back to Kant, dignity refers to the importance of treating people like ends, not means. At times, dignity is lumped together with the right of self-determination. I agree with supporters of Washingtonâs law that physician assisted suicide can be part of a dignified death. But there are plenty of other ways for terminally ill patients to control the circumstances of their death, making it wrong to equate dignity with suicide.
