Line 1: − In respect to [[theology]] and [[ethics]] the '''sanctity of life''' refers to life being [[sacred]] or [[holy]].<ref>[http://www.request.org.uk/issues/topics/sanctity/sanctity01.htm "What Christians Believe About The Sanctity of Life"]</ref><ref>[http://www.str.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=5554 "Sanctity of Life Sunday"]</ref> Acts such as [[abortion]], [[euthanasia]] or [[suicide]] and their advocates therefore deny this inviolable property of life. In regards to [[Christianity|Christian]] and [[Jewish]] theology, a biblical basis of the sanctity of life often appeals to the following biblical passages:+ − − "[[God]] created [[mankind|man]] in His own image, in the image of God He created him; [[male]] and [[female]] He created them." [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=genesis%201:27;&version=49; (Genesis 1:27) (NASB)]<ref>[http://www.request.org.uk/issues/topics/sanctity/sanctity01.htm "What Christians Believe About The Sanctity of Life"]</ref> − − "For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them." [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20139:13-16;&version=49; (Psalm 139:13-16) (NASB)]<ref>[http://www.request.org.uk/issues/topics/sanctity/sanctity01.htm "What Christians Believe About The Sanctity of Life"]</ref> − ==References== − {{reflist|2}} − − ==See Also== − *[[Abortion controversy]] − *[[Euthanasia]] − *[[Suicide]] − − − [[Category:Religion]] − [[Category:Ethics]]
