Abstract
Human dignity is a pivotal concept in contemporary ethical, political, and legal discourse. However, divergent and sometimes
conflicting interpretations of human dignity contribute to confusion across various discussions. Given that all human beings possess
inherent moral potential, each individual is endowed with universal dignity. The extent to which people develop their moral potential varies.
Discussing an individual’s dignity, as in other medical specialties, cannot be separated from forensic medicine as a distinct medical
discipline. In conclusion, the authors assert that establishing medical facts, or the truth ascertained through expert examination, serves
justice by ensuring dignified treatment of the deceased, their family, and relatives.
