From the very beginning of its existence the Orthodox Church proclaimed the sanctity of the conceived life and protected that conceived life, condemning those who threatened it. The orthodox Church based its teaching on the testimony of the Holy Scripture both of the Old and the New Testament, teaching of the Church Fathers and canons of Church councils and synods. It is also confirmed by contemporary declarations of the local Churches, announced in order to counteract the mass phenomena of abortion, to defend the right to life of the defenceless unborn children. Discussions on the questions of bioethics aim at limiting the dimensions of the phenomena, at abolishing particularly cruel methods of practicing the abortion. The Orthodox Church also commemorates in prayer the unborn children as it is done by the Orthodox Church of Greece. The conceived life is saint, therefore the value of no man whatsoever can be submitted any utilitarian calculations. The sanctity of life has an absolute value.
