Question

Oscar had been an exceptionally private person his entire life. What bothered him most during his final years was the lack of care for people's dignity that he witnessed in hospitals. He was also disturbed by the way health-care professionals excluded those who could provide necessary social support. When his time came, Oscar wanted the focus to be on

a) illness-related concerns.
b) the hospital's dignity-conserving repertoire.
c) social dignity.
d) functional independence.

Answer 1

c) Social Dignity.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the other hand, it is morally important to harm someone's personal reputation because it causes a social cost: the target loses social status insofar as it is compelled to do something that the society finds to be humiliating.

Furthermore, social dignity is closely linked to the universal desire for justice for individuals.
