- 1What is sanctity of life?This is the belief that all human life is precious and everyone has a special human value and has human dignity. We should never violate this, as doing so is classified as committing evil. Therefore we should never deliberately harm, sacrifice or ignore the human dignity of a person, unless it is for exceptional circumstances such as protecting a population in the eyes of just war. Only God has the power to end life.
- 2Beliefs that support the idea of sanctity of life.Genesis- We are all made in the image and likeness of God. So there is a bit of God in EVERYONE... Consequence---- Ending a life is killing a God-like creature and destroying something made by God, we are committing a mortal sin against God.

Point two--- infertility is considered an illness. As Christians we are asked to follow in the footsteps of Jesus the healer and do our best to accommodate the sick, allowing them to heal both emotionally and spiritually. Therefore, if IVF is the treatment for infertility, why should we disregard as an option?
