3732	Rational beings have a right to share in the end of an action, not just be part of the means [Kant]
	Full Idea: A violator of the rights of man intends to use the person of others merely as a means, not considering that they should be used only as beings who must themselves be able to share in the end of the very same action.
	From: Immanuel Kant (Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals [1785], 430.68)
