Summary/Abstract: My analysis is designed to show some areas of discourse around questions about the value of human life and the responsibility for human life. In search of answers to these questions we refer to integral anthropology with personalistic profile. In the light of such anthropology human value and dignity of human life is not a matter of the contract or situational needs, but based on the objective foundation of humanity, natural inalienable human rights and universal principles to protect the value and dignity of human life. Our analysis is an attempt to show from the perspective of research in certain areas of discussion about the value of human life and the responsibility for human life.
