Some have argued that there are no Biblical references to prove that life begins at conception. But a quick Scriptural journey to Nazareth and the hill country of Judea shows otherwise-for here we encounter the Annunciation and Visitation accounts that give us a powerful portrait of the sanctity of human life in the womb.

Do people deprived of capabilities ever reach a point where we should allow them to die or where we should cause them to die? Is there a difference? The answer to this is critical.
