Consistent Ethic for Life By Alex Novotny

Definition Consistent ethic for life can best be defined as respecting all forms of life in every stage, “Womb to Tomb” is a good way to describe the consistent ethic for life.

Catholic Church The Catholic church has a similar way of describing it, “ These criteria are the respect, defence and promotion of man, his "primary and fundamental right" to life, his dignity as a person who is endowed with a spiritual soul and with moral responsibility and who is called to beatific communion with God.” (Donum Vitae,4-5) The Catechism has a stand that is also very similar, “ We are obliged to accept life gratefully and preserve it for his honor and the salvation of our souls.” (CCC 2280) “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?” Romans 8:35

What the Textbook Says The definition of the Consistent Ethic for Life is “The viewpoint of Catholic Social Teaching that calls for the respect of all human life, especially the most defenseless in our midst, a “seamless garment” of protection.” (Catholic Social Teaching, Michael Pennock pg 273)

What You Can DO So, what can you do today that upholds a Consistent Ethic for Life? Issues like abortion, capital punishment, euthanasia, and assisted suicide are all related to a Consistent Ethic for Life and are important issues today.

Abortion Abortion is wrong in every way. It denies babies life and every experience in it. Abortion kills over 3 million people in the US and over 10 million around the world every year.

Capital Punishment Capital Punishment is wrong because it doesn’t allow a criminal to repent and it doesn’t break the cycle of violence. Capital Punishment is can be right only when it is the only way to protect human life.

Euthanasia Euthanasia is often justified as to stop people from suffering intense pain. This violates a Consistent Ethic for Life because it denies people the final stages of life, and it violates the oath doctors take to never harm a patient.

Assisted Suicide Assisted suicide is very similar to euthanasia, but it is often assisted by a doctor or a family member. This violates a Consistent Ethic for Life because suicide is never the right choice, and it violates a doctor’s oath to never harm a patient.
