U9.1.4 - Describe how the mystery of imago Dei reveals certain truths about human beings (e.g., that they are, for example: persons, relational, rational, and free) and explain the moral implications of these truths (e.g., that every human life is sacred; that humans are stewards, not owners, of life; that moral life has a communal dimension; that human beings are able to discern the morality of human acts), making links with St Paul’s teaching on the dignity of the human body in 1 Cor 6:12-20
R9.1.3 - Consider their own response to the belief that all human life is sacred from the moment of conception.
