The Christian view of the nature of human persons
The idea that people were made in God's likeness forms the basis of the Christian
understanding of what makes people human. Christian theology holds that because each person
was made in the image of God, they all have inherent dignity and worth. According to this
viewpoint, every human life is sacred and valuable, regardless of one's physical or mental
capabilities (Schaeda 2018). The "sanctity of life" hypothesis is the moral status theory most
consistent with this viewpoint from a Christian standpoint. According to this theory, human life
is holy and ought to be treasured and preserved. It acknowledges that every person has intrinsic
worth independent of things like skills, accomplishments, or societal value and exists from
conception until natural death (Groothuis, 2020). According to the Christian perspective, a
person's inherent worth and dignity are independent of physical or mental capabilities. One's
ability to benefit society or their level of economic output does not constitute a person's value.
Instead, it is based on the idea that people have a distinct and particular relationship with God
since they were created in God's likeness. How we view human worth and dignity affects our
moral judgments. It demands that all people be treated with respect, compassion, and care, even
those with disabilities or anomalies. It emphasizes the value of protecting the sanctity of human
life and working to ensure that every person, regardless of circumstances, can thrive. In the case
study, Aunt Maria's viewpoint illustrates how Christians appreciate and revere human life
because of its inherent worth. She exhorts Jessica to think about her role as a mother and to have
faith in God's purposes. This viewpoint promotes a holistic understanding of human dignity that
includes both physical and spiritual components and acknowledges the intrinsic worth of the
unborn child, regardless of the difficulties they may encounter (Pirson et al., 2019).
