Johannes Cziupka: Logische Probleme bei der Bestimmung der
pränatalen Menschenwürde. Anmerkungen zu einem unscharfen Rechtsbegriff

This contribution investigates the logical and philosophical premises of the prevailing “static” conception of dignity, above all in the areas of prenatal human dignity, and contrasts this conception with a “dynamic” understanding of dignity. The author favours the attempt not of regarding the immanent indistinctiveness of the term “human dignity” as a problem of the legal order which necessarily ought to be eliminated, but rather of making this indistinctiveness itself useful and fertile for a “fluctuating” or fluid (i. e. because of its gradations) concept of dignity.

The above-mentioned indistinctiveness of human dignity demands a decision which reminds one that it is interwoven in a field of conceptual indistinctiveness.
