III. The Love of Husband and Wife
2378
A child is not something owed to one, but is a gift. the “supreme gift of
marriage” is a human person. A child may not be considered a piece of
property, an idea to which an alleged “right to a child” would lead.
In this area, only the child possesses genuine rights: the right “to be
the fruit of the specific act of the conjugal love of his parents,” and “the
right to be respected as a person from the moment of his
conception.”169
