Bioethical Document - Respect for nascent human life - Document 105 | Paulinas Bookstore

Various Episcopal Conferences and numerous bishops, theologians, physicians, and scientists have addressed the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, raising the question of whether biomedical techniques that permit intervention in the initial phase of human life and even in the procreative process itself are in conformity with the principles of Catholic morality. This instruction, which is the fruit of numerous consultations and in particular of a careful examination of Episcopal declarations, does not purport to reproduce all of the Church's teaching on the dignity of nascent human life and procreation, but rather to offer, in light of the preceding teaching of the Magisterium, a specific response to the problems raised.
