Abstrakt
W artykule podkreśla się, że największą wartością człowieka jest życie, a państwo powinno stać na straży tej wartości. Przy okazji wojen i konfliktów okazało się, że ten obowiązek nie jest w zadowalający sposób wypełniany. W świecie współczesnym do większych zagrożeń ludzkiego życia należą aborcja i eutanazja. Tematyka ta skupia osoby, które opowiadają się za dopuszczalnością obu, jak i tych, którzy bronią życia ludzkiego od poczęcia do naturalnej śmierci, przede wszystkim zaś związanych z Kościołem katolickim. Obecnie obserwuje się pewien paradoks – postęp nauki, w tym w medycynie, dzięki któremu łatwiej ratować ludzkie życie, w wielu sytuacjach staje się okazją, aby drugiego człowieka go pozbawić.
It shall be stated in the article that human life is the greatest value and the state should protect the respect for this value. The right to life is the basis of all other rights, values and disrespect for it effects in nonobservance of the others. That is why the right to life is guaranteed from birth to death by numerous international law systems of human life protection. Both abortion and euthanasia gather supporters and opponents. The Catholic Church headed by the Holy Father is a resolute opponent of both those procedures. Public opinion is divided in judgment of acceptability of abortion. Legalization of abortion leads to negation of principal rule, emphasizing human life as the greatest value which is protected at all costs. Many contemporary women believe that removal of the baby is the right belonging to them because a conceived child is a part of their body and they wish to decide about it independently. Changing women mentality, who often give priority to career over establishing a family, is another threat. Euthanasia as the revocation of the right to life becomes a threat for many senior people. Putting to death because of pity and compassion becomes popular and widespread. An assurance of sense of security and care should be the family task, however more and more frequently life of the members depends on the family. Children decide to carry out the euthanasia on their parents for different reasons.
