Most of us want to articulate a shared vision for human dignity, but what common beliefs will underpin it? Can a public or secular morality do the trick, or will it take religious convictions? At The Veritas Forum at Mayo Clinic, 2010, Robert George tackled human dignity from a natural law perspective, taking the stand that arguments for human dignity are accessible to anyone who accepts a certain definition of humanity. Gilbert Meilaender expressed different views, arguing that we "need to take a certain something with us." Do you resonate more with George or Meilaender? How do each of them ground their understanding of human dignity in their Christian faith?
