  • The right to human life is sacred in its conception, birth, growth, maturity, and transformation through natural death to eternal life.
  • Proper and competent means shall be taken to prevent and cure illness and alleviate suffering in the whole person with out regard to race, creed, national origin, economic status or ability to pay.
