Quote

The dignity we seek in dying must be found in the dignity with which we have lived our lives.

I think we need to treat everybody with dignity.

To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.

Our moral, religious, and political traditions are united in their respect for the dignity of human life.

Care for life and physical health, with due regard for the needs of others and the common good, is concomitant with respect for human dignity.

If we care about life and the dignity of all life, then we care about the dignity of all life, and that includes the human life of children.

'Death with dignity' is our society's expression of the universal yearning to achieve a graceful triumph over the stark and often repugnant finality of life's last sputterings. But the fact is, death is not a confrontation. It is simply an event in the sequence of nature's ongoing rhythms.

Dignity belongs to the conquered.

We must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living.

The horror of a death without dignity has so much implications for the people who are left behind.
