Catholic AnswerMan's life is a gift from God. Therefore his life has an innate dignity given it by God. He is obliged to regard his body as good and to hold it in honor since God has created it and will raise it up on the last day. Because of sin, his life is a struggle against evil as he has inherited a fallen nature and is constantly tempted to sin. This struggle against evil is the subject of his life. But human life remains sacred as it is begun in the creative action of God, and remains forever in a special relationship with the Creator. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end: no one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy a human life, his own or another's. Every human life, from the moment of conception until death, is sacred because the human person has been willed for its own sake in the image and likeness of the living and holy God. extracted from the Catechism, various paragraphs.
