"At the heart of many of the complex biotechnological developments that the President's Council and others grapple with is the question of what it means to be human. Is it some capacity or some combination of capacities that makes an individual uniquely human and therefore the possessor of dignity? Is it demonstrating autonomy, rational thought, self-awareness, freedom? Or is there something innate to human beings? Is human dignity about doing or being?"
