Abstract
Human dignity often is used as an ethical category in medical judgement of current medical and intensive care decisions. The short history of the intensive care medicine, however, demonstrates a certain drift in the use of the term "human dignity". Parallel to the more pronounced patient autonomy, articulated in patient testaments, therapeutic decisions of current intensive care medicine individualize therapeutic approaches, instead of preferentially maximizing life span.
