Books-in-Brief: Ethics of Assisted Reproductive Medicine: A Comparative Study of Western Secular and Islamic Bioethics
Tungkol sa ebook na ito
Western and Islamic models of bioethics to make the case that the
Islamic perspective (taken from the Qur’an and the Sunnah) provides a
viable and clear alternative that goes beyond the dominance of the
secular and its various philosophical bases, to give Revelation and
spiritual understanding precedence. Human cloning, surrogacy, and IVF,
are some of the more hotly contested topics. The author analyzes these
rigorously and objectively, addressing the perspectives of both the
secular Western and Islamic models, and fundamentally how each has
chosen to framework its own understanding of the issues at hand. In
discussing these issues, keeping to principles, the author charts the way
out of a confused circle of opinion that is making it very hard to decide
“what is best”.
