Investigating Presupposition of Man’s Ontological Dignity on Prohibition of Abortion

The earliest stage of human creation is embryo which has its own levels. When the Fetus is ensouled, the perfect human is created. The Fetus in all these levels enjoys an anthological dignity that prohibits its abortion. Thus importance of this article is enhancing knowledge on this subject. The problem stated in the present study is that some people, in spite of holding belief in innate dignity and value of Man, abort the fetus, seemingly they do not consider the fetus among human. This can violate Man’s ontological dignity and result in rebellion against act of God. This research is an attempt to answer this question that how presupposition on Man’s ontological dignity and humanization of fetus contradicts abortion. This hypothesis is formulated that when fetus is ensouled it is proved human and therefore abortion opposes the dignity that is endowed by act of God. This article has used library instruments and descriptive-analytical method to Investigate presupposition of Man’s ontological dignity on prohibition of abortion. It is concluded that fetus in earliest stage enjoys soul and in each state of development possesses some human quality and therefore its abortion or failing to keep it in custody, is in contrast with Man’s Godly-endowed ontological dignity.
