In respect to theology and ethics the sanctity of life refers to life being sacred or holy.[1][2] In regards to Christian and Jewish theology a biblical basis of the sanctity of life often appeals to the following biblical passages:
"God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." (Genesis 1:27) (NASB)[3]
"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." (Psalm 139:13-16) (NASB)[4]
