Sanctity of Human Life in Bioethics
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Sanctity of human life plays important role in bioethics since the beginning of human life until its natural death. Sanctity of human life does not belong exclusively to religions but also to secular bioethical debate. One of the most important meanings of sanctity of human life is that human life should not be violated, opposed or destroyed, and, positively that it should be protected, defended and preserved. Preservation of human life is central in bioethics as an ethics of life because life is the most important property of human beings.
