Human dignity needs no defense as far as I can tell.

What do you say then to the complaint that Dusen's plasticized corpses are "bad"/"wrong" because they objectify the body in the same way as pornography?
And further, what is the entire basis of the argument that pornography is bad because it objectifies women? Let's investigate that on a deeper level rather than just conversationally accepting it. Let us get to the bottom of it by examining deeply why we feel or think it is wrong.
Turning people (or yourself) into an object is bad because...? Because why?
The Nazis called modern artists degenerate and then complained their paintings denigrated the German Woman. Why then is it okay for them to march romanian women into gas chambers, as if they were mere objects to be discarded? The Nazis felt the German Woman had dignity and that this dignity needed defending -- even on the artist's canvas. Why did they think this way? Do you agree with them? Etc?
