'''Culture of Life''' is a concept meant to counter the '''culture of death''' some see as creeping into American society. The "culture of death" refers to a lack of respect for [[life]], seen in such issues as abortion, stem cell research, and teen pregnancy. The culture of life is meant to counter this movement, bringing a basic respect for life back into American society.
'''"Culture of Life"''', as expressed by the Roman Catholic Church, refers to:
:"... respect for nature and protection of God's work of creation. In a special way, it means respect for human life from the first moment of conception until its natural end." - the Pope <!-- need date of statement -->
Cardinal [[Bernard Law]] urged Americans to "spread the culture of life over the culture of death". {{cite}}
