- Authors
Mróz, Teresa; Proniewski, Andrzej
- Abstract
The dignity of the human person is a basic element of humanity, and at the same time a determinant of the moral value of human action. Human rights and personal rights derive from it and are protected by law. Dignity is sheltered by public and private law. In practice, civil law protection of human dignity is of great importance. There is consensus that the dignity of every human being is protected, even those deprived of consciousness. However, the problem arises when it comes to determining from what moment the protection of dignity is granted, whether from the moment of birth or earlier. The issue of the victim's contribution to the harm caused to him is discussed. It can be noticed that in the science of law and in the jurisprudence of Polish courts, the influence of the teachings of Pope John Paul II on the interpretation of the provisions on the protection of human dignity can be observed.
