Many criticisms levelled against the focus on human dignity point to inconsistencies in the Supreme Court's own definition of the term. Iacobucci J has variously characterized the term as referring to "personal autonomy and self-determination", "physical and psychological integrity and empowerment", as well as "self-respect and self-worth", indicating a conflation of different understandings of equality. One scholar notes that this confusion "[forms a haphazard amalgamation and intermingling of dignity", and that it is a disservice to our understanding of equality by failing to distinguish between human dignity and human interest. Similarly, the Court has at times linked the concept of dignity with the imposition of disadvantage and prejudice while at other times linked it with the redress of discrimination.
