Abstract
The lecture examined the relation between human dignity as a general category and the dignity properly accorded to humans of different shapes and sizes: infants, teenagers, rational adults, the elderly, and so on. It asked what the relationship is between human dignity in general and human dignity as a basis for the specific forms of respect that humans of different kinds may command.
