Viktor Frankl was a survivor of the Holocaust and opposed physician-assisted suicide. As a physician, Frankl opposed a so-called "quality of life" philosophy, which was taught and practiced by Nazi physicians. For them, human beings have lives "not worthy to be lived," if, for example, they are not useful to others and cannot contribute to society. Such weak and sickly persons would be better off dead, relieving others of financial and emotional burdens.
For Frankl, human beings have unconditional value. In other words, they, first, have value because of who they are, not what they do nor how much they contribute to society. That is to say, humans always have ontological value, which is the inherent value or dignity of being persons, regardless of how well or ill they are.
