Quoted in Instructions to Dignitas Personae on Certain Bioethical Issues from original document Donum Vitae:  “Thus the fruit of human generation, from the first moment of its existence, that is to say, from the moment the zygote has formed, demands the unconditional respect that is morally due to the human being in his bodily and spiritual totality. The human being is to be respected and treated as a person from the moment of conception; and therefore from that same moment his rights as a person must be recognized, among which in the first place is the inviolable right of every innocent human being to life”.

Abortion has long been at the forefront of public awareness. The moral status of the unborn child is debated along clear lines. Less clear, however, is the value of other early human life: the embryo as a source of stem cells for research, cloning of human embryos for research purposes, or embryos and fetuses with defects. Genetic testing of early human beings, either embryos created in the laboratory (via IVF) or fetuses in the womb, often leads to lethal discrimination. Christians need to be aware of the science, the pressures, and the moral issues that are raised at the beginning of life. Other issues related to the beginning of life involve the use of contraception. For more information regarding beginning-of-life issues, please visit everydaybioethics.org/issue/beginning-life.
