I. Respect for Human Life
“The inalienable rights of the person must be recognized and
respected by civil society and the political authority.
These human rights depend neither on single individuals nor on parents; nor do
they represent a concession made by society and the state; they belong to human
nature and are inherent in the person by virtue of the creative act from which
the person took his origin.
Among such fundamental rights one should mention in this regard every human
being’s right to life and physical integrity from the moment of conception
until death.”79
