All of these rights, and others listed elsewhere in Catholic social teaching are derived from the dignity of each human person and God's desire that they flourish. By protecting these rights we help people flourish. Where rights are not protected suffering is rife. The Second Vatican Council expresses this in paragraph 27 of its 1965 Pastoral Constitution of the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium et spes: Furthermore, whatever is opposed to life itself, such as any type of murder, genocide, abortion, euthanasia or wilful self-destruction, whatever violates the integrity of the human person, such as mutilation, torments inflicted on body or mind, attempts to coerce the will itself; whatever insults human dignity, such as subhuman living conditions, arbitrary imprisonment, deportation, slavery, prostitution, the selling of women and children; as well as disgraceful working conditions, where men are treated as mere tools for profit, rather than as free and responsible persons; all these things and others of their like are infamies indeed. They poison human society, but they do more harm to those who practice them than those who suffer from the injury. Moreover, they are supreme dishonor to the Creator.
