Life and Dignity of the Human Person

This is pretty much about god and life, the two most precious things in the universe.

Since this is the very first post, I think it's appropriate to start off with the most basic social teaching: Life and Dignity of the Human Person. This basically means that the human life is sacred, and that the destruction of it, no matter the circumstances, is wrong. The human life is an extremely precious thing. Though, as unfortunate as it may be, recently, people seem to have forgotten that. Such things as euthanasia, the death penalty, cloning, and more, threaten the dignity of life. These things, while not handled lightly, still occur. We must remember that just because something is legal, like abortion for example, does not make it right. Life is what God gave to us, and only he has the right to take it away. Remember, though when there is a will, there is a way. We can do something. We can protect the dignity of life by doing the simplest thing that I know of: speaking. Many are under the misconception that one voice makes no difference. Don't be one of them. Simply by talking to the people around you, sharing your knowledge, speaking up for what is right, you could save someone’s life, and maybe even the world.
