Do you mean, formally?

I'd like to know if you can cite someone who asserts the doctrine of intrinsic human value. Besides, you know, theists. Or their succssors-in-wibble, secular humanists.

If you want something they have, and they won't give it to you, otherwise? You don't have to justify it philosophically; you only have to justify it with your bank account balance. Or if it's a fine you're being asked to pay. Then you have to question whatever it was you did that earned the fine, and I'm more confident in finding the right philosopher there.
