The Catholic Church TEACHES:

Human Life is Sacred
“We are made in the image of God—each and every one of us.  No exceptions.  From the first chapter of Genesis to the most recent edition of the Catechism, this statement about who we are and what kind of person God wants us to be is at the heart of morality.  It is the foundation for loving other people, our God, and ourselves.
The Scriptures tell us that from the moment of conception, God knew us and loved us: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, / and before you were born I consecrated you” (Jeremiah 1:5).  Sacred Tradition also speaks of the dignity of all life, confirming that every human life is sacred until natural death, from womb to tomb.
Sometimes the lives of others or even our own life may not be perfect, and life can make demands on us that are not what we want.  Children and adults who are disabled or ill can require a great deal of demanding care.  Sometimes other people can be annoying, inconvenient, or even our enemy.  But each life is as precious to God as we are.  We can never throw a life away.  The beginning and end of every life is up to God, and only God.”
