The aim: Is to study the levels of influence of the Christian spiritual tradition on the attitude of medical students to abortion, which necessitated a comparative analysis of Christian ethics and the main approaches of secular bioethics regarding artificial termination of pregnancy; analysis of the results of sociological research taking into account the peculiarities of religious self-identification of medical students.
Materials and methods: The complex nature of the studied issue necessitated the application of interdisciplinary approaches, philosophical, general scientific and special sociological methods of collecting, processing and analyzing information. Certain differences between Christian moral guidelines and attitudes towards artificial termination of pregnancy were found in a questionnaire study conducted by a sociological group of the Bogomolets National Medical University (hereinafter - NMU) in 2020. The object of the study were first and sixth year students and postgraduate students of NMU (N = 375).
Results: Based on a comparative analysis of the evaluative judgments of three groups of respondents (1 group - those who identified themselves as Christians; 2 group - those who are uncertain with their attitude towards religion; 3 group - those who consider themselves non-believers) regarding artificial termination of pregnancy, it was found that the attitude of medical students-believers towards this problem differs from the more liberal approaches of the respondents of the second and third groups, and, at the same time, has significant differences with Christian moral guidelines on this issue.
Conclusions: A comparative analysis of the main approaches of secular bioethics and Christian ethics to the issue of artificial termination of pregnancy allows us to conclude that the Christian position is distinguished by the recognition of sacredness, inviolability of human life, inalienable dignity and value of human being from conception to the natural end of life. This determines the special importance of the Christian spiritual tradition in overcoming the manifestations of abortive mentality in contemporary Ukrainian society.
研究基督教精神传统对医学生堕胎态度的影响程度，为此需要对基督教伦理学和世俗生物伦理学关于人工终止妊娠的主要方法进行比较分析；分析考虑到医学生宗教自我认同特点的社会学研究结果。
所研究问题的复杂性需要应用跨学科方法、哲学、一般科学和特殊社会学方法来收集、处理和分析信息。在 2020 年由波格莫莱茨国立医科大学（以下简称 NMU）社会学小组进行的问卷调查研究中，发现了基督教道德准则与人工终止妊娠态度之间的某些差异。研究对象为 NMU 的一年级、六年级学生和研究生（N=375）。
基于对三组受访者（1 组-自认为是基督徒的人；2 组-对宗教态度不确定的人；3 组-自认为是非信徒的人）对人工终止妊娠的评价判断进行比较分析，发现医学生信徒对这个问题的态度与第二组和第三组受访者更自由的方法不同，同时，与基督教对这个问题的道德准则有很大的不同。
对世俗生物伦理学和基督教伦理学对人工终止妊娠问题的主要方法进行比较分析，可以得出结论，基督教的立场是承认从受孕到生命自然终结的人类生命的神圣性、不可侵犯性、不可剥夺的尊严和价值。这决定了基督教精神传统在克服当代乌克兰社会中堕胎心态表现方面的特殊重要性。
