Jews place emphasis on life not death (‘live by the Torah but God forbid you should die by it’).

Why: Discrimination based on religion should be eradicated and is ‘Contrary to God’s intent.’ (Gaudium et spes)/ It is a way of showing love for our neighbour/ Pope Benedict said is was ‘vital for our time’
