Does the duty to protect human life have an essence of dignity? The „triage“ of COVID-19-patients, i.e. their sorting due to scarce treatment capacities, raises this question. The answer is yes: It would violate the state's duty to protect human dignity, for example, if the state gave orders to save not as many lives as possible, but as many young people as possible.
