The Pope has rightly appreciated and also reminded, we human beings do not have the right to kill a human life for the sake of experiments. The medical experts make use of the poor living human beings. Whether they are poor or not the human life is the same. It cannot be sold or bought for money to make use for the new findings. Poor people may be ready to sell their life for the sake of the other members of the family but the medical experts who know the value of the human life being in the place of God the protector must realize and deny the temptation. In north India poor formers are ready to commit suicide. Some medical experts would like to utilize the poverty of the people. The advancement in science is for the human life to live better in this world. This cannot be achieved at the cost of any human life irrespectable of status of human being in the society.

God the creator has handed over the world to the human beings who are made in His likeness and image. So the human beings have the duty to safeguard all the beings entrusted to them. The police should not become a thief. If we do so we betray Him who has created us. What a happy surrounding will there be, when a child and mother are saved during the delivery time. The creator will have the pain of losing a creation. Human beings are also the creators in one or the other way. The church appreciates the science which generates the medicine for the survival of the human species rather than using the human life for the new findings. In this way the Catholic Church resembles Christ who is the savior of the world.
