NOTE

Protection of Moral Agency Rooted in Human Dignity

The belief in human dignity, based on being created in the image and likeness of God, encompasses moral agency which must be safeguarded as a fundamental aspect of human dignity. Instead of rights language, it is crucial to use agency language to protect moral agency. This perspective aligns with a Catholic view that emphasizes the importance of moral agency safeguarded by dignity over rights. Autonomy, often misunderstood as self-rule, should be viewed as the responsibility to abide by a higher law received by individuals, rather than creating their own laws. Therefore, emphasizing agency over individual or autonomous rights language is essential to uphold moral agency rooted in dignity.
