The principle Kant deems to be the supreme principle of morality, the categorical imperative, deems morally wrong all actions that treat persons merely as means. (The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

Evil starts when you treat other people as things. There are perhaps worse crimes, but they begin when you treat other people as things. (Terry Pratchett, in interview)
