A dignidade da vida humana na pessoa com necessidades educativas especiais

: uma reflexão a partir da unidade letiva "Dignidade da vida humana" do 9.º ano do ensino básico do programa de Educação Moral e Religiosa Católica

Abstract

In the awakening of the way for the dignity of the human person, who lives threatened by personal, social, technological, scientific and religious conditionalisms, we affirm vehemently the urgency to educate for the dignity of human life which is inalienable from birth to its fall. The dignity of human life is an inherent value to the person. The wave of globalization, associated to a new way of living out values, represents a real challenge to society and to the process of education, more specifically to the subject of Moral and Religious Catholic Education, as a help for an education aimed at the human rights, rooted upon the perspective of the Catholic Church. Education, for the vulnerable person, is achieved by a life culture rooted in the respect for the difference, embraced with proximity, affection and responsibility of all, dignifying the person, in the context of Special Education Needs.
