Life Principles: (Adopted in 1974)

We hold these truths to be self-evident:

That all human beings are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among which is the right to life, and

The right to life of each human being shall be presented and protected by every human being in the society and by the society as a whole, and

The life of each human being shall be preserved and protected from that human beings biological beginning when the Father's sperm fertilizes the Mother's ovum, and

The life of each human being shall be preserved and protected from the biological beginning throughout the natural continuum of the human beings life by all available ordinary means and reasonable efforts, and

The life of each human being shall be preserved and protected at each stage of life continuum to the same extent as at each and every other stage regardless of state of health or condition of dependency, and

The life of each human being shall be preserved and protected to the same extent as the life of each and every other human being regardless of state of health or condition of dependency, and

When there is any doubt that there exists a human being's life to preserve and protect, such doubt shall be resolved in favor of the existence of a human being and

When two or more human beings are in a situation in which their lives are mutually endangered, all available ordinary means and reasonable efforts shall be used to preserve and to protect the life of each and every human being so endangered.
