Human life is a wondrous and beautiful gift of God. Since God has created members of the human race in His image and likeness, every man, woman and child is endowed with an inalienable dignity. As Pope Benedict taught in his first homily as our Holy Father, each individual person is willed, loved, and necessary in the sight of God.
In our country, we are witnesses to the sad truth that human dignity is not always honoured. The obvious and most tragic example of this is abortion. It is manifest also in embryonic stem cell research, which destroys a human embryo, and in the promotion of euthanasia and assisted suicide. These practices call us to speak out clearly in defence of life.
