Sanctity of Life
All life is sacred and made holy
Abortion
A procedure that terminates a pregnancy
For Abortion
Could save a child from any pain if they were severely disabled
Could save a child from having a bad life or upbringing
Allows the mother a second chance
Child will not suffer
Against Abortion
It is killing something that had a chance of life
Could prevent the mother from having any other children
Some people would see the parents as being murderers
The child has not done anything wrong so does not deserve to die
Fertility Treatment
Medical treatment to enable a woman to conceive a child when unable to
For Fertility Treatment
Anything that creates new life is good
God has given doctor the skills and medicine to resolve this problem
God told Adam and Eve to have lots of children
Brings happiness to people who want children but cannot have them
Life comes from God, therefore anything that creates new life is good
Infertility is a medical problem that can be treated
Against Fertility Treatment
Only God can decide who can have a baby
Babies are a privilege not a right
Using a donor is like adultery, It brings a third person into a relationship which is wrong
Sex is the only way you should create babies, any other way is unnatural
Women who are too old, should not be having babies
Difficult to know what to do with fertilised eggs in IVF because they have a chance of life
Unfair to bring a child into the world without thinking of the life that the child is going to have

A genetically identical organism that is created from another
For Cloning
Benefit humans
Can save people's lives
Easier way for infertile couples to have children
Save future generations from genetic diseases

Illegal to clone a human
Euthanasia
Mercy killing
Voluntary
When a person asks to die
Active
Deliberate i.e. injection
For Euthanasia
Sometimes the most loving thing to do
God has enabled us to think for ourselves, so we should be able to choose to live or die
Keeping people alive with drugs is against God's will anyway
We put animals out of their misery, why not humans?
Lets the last days of a dying person be planned
Is loving kills someone gently, love cannot be illegal
Some people have no quality of life
Against Euthanasia
Life is a gift from God so only God should decide when to end life
Suffering allows a person to become closer to God
Hospices can help end a dying person's life with dignity
Care better for the dying, not just kill them off
Learn from suffering, not just overcome it
Suicide
Killing Yourself
Against Suicide
God's choice to decide when you die
Suffering can bring you closer to God, or you can learn from it
Animal Testing
For Animal Testing
Humans are superior to animals
God has given us animals so we can do what we want with them
Humans are made in the image of God so animal therefore are not
Against Animal Testing
God has given us a responsibility to look after animals
We should not hurt them unnecessarily
