ink it can be gotten rid of casually. Actually, a life comes into being at the moment of conception, or else how can a fetus gradually grow day by day? Similarly, those of us who have been born are considered alive because we can move and grow. Therefore, an unborn fetus is alive, just like us.


我本身是個天主教徒，天主教一向尊重生命。今《無辜的小鬼》一書，雖是由佛教的觀點切入，但慈悲愛護蒼生的精神令人感動。書中宣化上人等對墮胎問題的詮釋與解答，讓我大開眼界；其中個案親身的實例，更是讓我深深警惕在心。此書的問世，相信會導正很多人對墮胎的觀念，進而為社會帶來莫大的幫助，也可因此救回很多生命！我更衷心期盼「墮胎」能至此成為歷史名詞，讓更多生命因而存活。

I am a Catholic, and the Catholic religion has always treasured life. Although the “Innocent Little Ghosts” is written from the Buddhist perspective, its compassion and love towards all living beings is very moving. In this book, the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua’s explanations and answers to questions about abortion gave me a new perspective, and the true stories based on personal experiences serve as great warnings. I believe that, this book will guide many people towards the correct view of abortion, and be a great help to our society and save many lives! I sincerely hope that the word “abortion” will become a term of the past and let more lives continue to live as a result.
