The inherent dignity of every human being is not an intellectual conceit. It is embodied in the biomedical context through the principle of self-determination. This is why it is often said in clinical ethics that the patient comes first and that free and informed consent should not be infringed upon. The legislation must ensure that free and informed consent is given.
