John Paul II could be rightly called the ‘Admirer of life’. His deep faith, along with the existential reasons, the sources of which could be traced back to his traumatic experiences during the Second World War, moulded him into a strong defender of human life. The Pope teaches that a civilization’s worth is determined by its attitude towards human life; it is either the civilization of life, or the destructive civilization of death. Since body constitutes an integral part of the whole human person, its dignity is enhanced. In his ‘theology of the body’ John Paul II stressed not only the sharing of the body in the dignity of the person, but also its importance as a sign and a needle in the compass of the human intellect in its search for moral norms. The Polish Pope insisted on the value of human life from its inception to natural death, and often presented various ruling elites with a challenge: Life is sacrosanct and this truth must be reflected in legislation. Human life is, according to John Paul II, the penultimate things; life is limited, mortal. The value of human life is determined by its destination: the human being is to find his fulfillment in eternity, where he will have a share in the everlasting life. Thirty years after the elevation of Karol Wojtyla to the Holy See we may confidently give him the credit for influencing the change in sensitivity to human life on a truly global scale. Though the contrary tendencies are very strong, thanks to the Polish Pope the impact of the culture of death has been significantly restricted.

The article presents the teachings of Popes John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis on the value of human life. St. John Paul II has developed the foundations of the science of the value of life.All the last popes unequivocally teach that human life is sacred and possesses an inescapable dignity all the time from conception to its end in natural death. The value of human life is rooted in the creation of man in the image and likeness of God, and is independent of the quality of life and the way of human existence. All successors of St. Peter shows the life of a Christian in a supernatural perspective. They also remind us of the many dangers of life such as abortion, genetic manipulation, war, euthanasia. The great defender of human life was St. Pope John Paul II. Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis point to the social dimension of human life, emphasizing the need to improve the quality of human existence. It is so important that the modern world is lost by mixing the category of absolute value of human life with the unspecified quality of life category
