C AN WE PUT A PRICE ON THE VALUE OF A HUMAN LIFE ? Though we all have different experiences, no individual is more or less important than another. Thus, can we put a price on human life? Even though it is wrong, can you think of some instances where a price tag is attached to human life? List some of your ideas:

W E ARE ALL WORTHY OF RESPECT AND DIGNITY BECAUSE WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, AND THEREFORE, ALL HUMAN LIFE IS VALUABLE Through the 5 th Commandment-Thou shall not Kill- God underlines the sacredness of life. Did you know that the 5 th commandment does not only refer to killing in the physical sense, but it also refers to killing of the spirit “emotionally”? There are many ways that you can kill someone’s spirit without actually physically harming them. List three ways that you believe you might kill someone’s spirit:

In particular, violence undermines human dignity and goes against the fifth commandment. Some sins that are committed against life are things such as: Genocide- Abortion- Euthanasia- Murder- Terrorism- Suicide- Why do you believe that the Church would not support the sins against life listed above???

I NCARNATION ……. Respect for and appreciation of life, are two important virtues. In fact, God values the human body so much that the Son of God (Jesus) became fully human. This is known as INCARNATION, which means the son of God coming “in flesh”. Jesus was human, yet, is truly God. Thus, Jesus was both human and truly divine.

C HANGING AND M ODELING …. What behaviors do you think that you might change so that everyone is included like Jesus’ model? or What behaviors do you model for others so they can follow your example to Jesus way? List ideas where we can include others here at school that may feel left out or alone…..
