Life and Bioethics

Every human being is created in the image of God, and is therefore sacred and to be respected as valued and loved by God. Abortion, embryonic research, euthanasia, and assisted suicide are just some of the current ways in which human life in God’s image is being devalued in our society. We campaign for human life, particularly at its most vulnerable, to be protected in law from the point of conception until the point of natural death.

“Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
    the days that were formed for me,
    when as yet there was none of them.”
Psalm 139:16
