“What does have intrinsic value is not having choices but being
recognized as the kind of creature who is capable of making
choices. That capacity grounds our idea of what it is to be a
person and a moral agent equally worthy of respect by all. But,
of course, that it is better, intrinsically to be a creature that
makes choices does not imply that it is always an improvement
to have more” (Gerald Dworkin, The theory and practice of
autonomy, Cambridge Univ. Press, 1988, p.80)
