This collective work presents a personalistic conception of the autonomy of the person and the autonomy of the patient. Dignity is treated here as a fundamental value, a basic value around which the whole hierarchy of other values and goods is grouped. The approach presented here goes against the grain of contemporary conceptions of person and patient autonomy, which see the fundamental value of the human being in the value of autonomy itself, rather than in dignity. This book does not, of course, exhaust the issue of person and patient autonomy. Instead, it is yet another voice in the ongoing bioethical debate.
