With this, people are responsible for themselves and consequently about the society in which they live. Thereby, avoiding people to think about their own good as a selfish center of their actions, to seen the common good that derived from personal responsibility. I do agree with Kant that this is why we should treat persons ethically. Treating “humanity” as an end in itself implies that “humanity” is the limiting condition of our actions. This means we can do anything as long as we respect the “humanity” that every person represents. For instance, in the case in which I make a false promise to return the money that I will borrow from my friend, he/she becomes a mere mean for me in order to obtain something. Part of what it means to treat people as an end is that such a person can consent my actions. The problem with getting the consent of others is not that if that person learns the truth he/she will not agree to lend me money. My friend can be aware that I cannot pay the money back and anyway he/she can give it to because he feels
