Why is human life sacred?

Why is human life sacred? Human beings have the ability to make moral decisions. They can freely do good out of love, reflecting the love of God, which makes them special among all other living creatures. By implication, the taking of a life ends the earthly possibilities of a loving, morally good person. There is something of God in a human person. Therefore to take a human life is to kill a God like creature, to take away part of the image of God. God has an intention, a destiny for every human being he created. By implication, it is not for human beings to interrupt the purpose by taking life. Christ became human and showed the possibility of perfection that human beings can aspire to. By implication the taking og a human life ends the possibility of a person becoming more Christ like in this world. Why is human life sacred? Allah was responsible for creating the original life forms. He has prompted the development of life over millions of years, leading to the situation we have today. Allah is in charge of life- birth and death and he has decided when that should be.

Which of these teachings would support the idea of the sanctity of life. 'So God created people in his own image; God patterned them after himself; male and female he created them.' ‘Do not murder’ ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ ‘There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die’ 'Love your friends and hate your enemies.' ‘A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.’ ‘Then God said ‘Let us make man in our own image’ 'You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
