Sažetak
The paper is divided into two parts. The first part sets out the problem of defining life in general and defining human life. The answer to the question of what is human
life and who is human depends on the approach to the topic of human dignity. Three
current approaches are addressed: liberal, utilitarian and relativistic. The second part
of the paper provides the basic elements of Christian anthropology: the establishment
of the ontological value of the human person on the transcendent basis, that is in God,
the Christological center of anthropology, and the meaning and ultimate eschatological
purpose of human existence. The conclusion emphasizes the complementarity of Christian anthropology with the demand for respect for the dignity and rights of the human
person, from conception to natural death, and the significance of the Christian mission:
the proclamation of the inviolable dignity of the human person whose original measure is
the person of Jesus Christ.
