Unfortunately in our culture we fast in a grip of deadly attitudes about human life, about the human person especially in the moments of his or her beautiful but fragile beginnings and in the vulnerable times of old age and illness. There are some in our culture and in our country…who think that human civil institutions or some given human subject bestows the right to life, No! Not any of us can bestow the right to life. We can only recognize their right to life uphold and defend it and cherish its beauty.
