I agree with what you are trying to express here, but I want you to
reconsider whether you want the phrase "human dignity" to be overused on
Wikipedia to the point that it becomes a meaningless platitude, the way NPOV
has. Some terms are rarely invoked because they are meant to have a powerful
and specific meaning, and not one of generic policy jargon.
