What is human worth?
An ethical culture starts with the assumption that every human being counts. Each person is to be treated as a unique and important member of the human family. This respect for human worth is based on our intrinsic human nature rather than on anything a person does. Attributing worth to human beings is accepting on faith and acting as if each person has within himself or herself the possibility for kindness, fairness, joy, and the capacity to create ethical relationships. Given this capacity for goodness each person deserves to be treated with dignity.
