[PART 2 OF 6]
What exactly do we mean when we talk about the “sanctity of human life”? Is that even a valid concept?
Princeton University’s online WordNet dictionary
defines sanctity as “the quality of being holy”. Holy is defined as “belonging to or derived from or associated with a divine power”.
So the question arises, “Is human life holy?” Does human life belong to, or is it derived from or associated with, a divine power?
