The point here maybe being that dignity is about relationships between people, not about those peoples’ intrinsic properties. Combine this with a person-affecting view, and you end up with a society where you can have genetically-engineered babies if you want, and also it’s morally important to afford dignity to people whether or not they are Gattaca’d.
I’m a big fan of Elizabeth Anderson on human dignity.
