    Study Notes

    Human Dignity

    • Human dignity is sacred and inviolable, serving as the foundation for all human rights.

    Respect for Life

    • The sacredness of life is violated by:
      • Murder (unjust killing of an innocent person)
      • Abortion (direct killing of an unborn child)
      • Euthanasia (intentional killing of a person, including indirect means)
      • Direct sterilization (permanent and irreversible contraceptive methods)

    Self-Defense

    • Killing in self-defense is morally permissible when:
      • There is a grave and imminent threat to one's life
      • There is no other possible way to protect oneself
      • The action is proportionate to the threat

    Abortion

    • Abortion is the direct killing of an unborn child, considered morally wrong.
    • Indirect abortion: when the death of the fetus is not intended, but is a secondary effect of a legitimate medical treatment.
    • Direct abortion: when the death of the fetus is intended, often for convenience or social reasons.

    In Vitro Fertilization

    • In vitro fertilization is considered wrong because it:
      • Involves the creation of excess embryos, which may be discarded or destroyed
      • Treats human life as a commodity, rather than a sacred gift

    Euthanasia

    • Active/Direct Euthanasia: intentionally causing the death of a person, often through lethal injection or overdose.
    • Passive/Indirect Euthanasia: withdrawing or withholding ordinary medical treatment, allowing the person to die naturally.

    Sterilization

    • Direct Sterilization: permanent and irreversible contraceptive methods, such as vasectomy or tubal ligation.

    Just War

    • Just war is distinct from other forms of conflict because it is:
      • A last resort, when all peaceful means have been exhausted
      • Fought with the intention of establishing peace and justice
      • Conducted with proportionate force and respect for human life

    Medical Treatment

    • Ordinary Means: medical treatment that is:
      • Proportionate to the benefit expected
      • Not excessively burdensome
      • Does not involve excessive risk or harm
    • Extraordinary Means: medical treatment that is:
      • Disproportionate to the benefit expected
      • Excessively burdensome
      • Involves excessive risk or harm
