“…It thus makes it seem as if we were dealing with a certain class or type of creature, when in fact we are vaguely considering those human beings who pass some mark on a scale."1Kant sets aside the ways the term dignity is used in the fullness of conversation and discourse to narrow it down to designate something that is and end in itself. And he thins out the concept of personal identity to designate the rational faculty in the human animal, and the rational faculty only when it is not being used for any practical or cultural purpose. …”
