Biomedical
Ethics from the Islamic Perspective
Religion and culture have a tremendous bearing on ethics
and morality. Islam, as both a religion and a way-of-life,
is particularly influential in this respect. Its clear,
unequivocal values and injunctions grant Muslims a pioneering
role in protecting human ethical values and serving the
welfare of communities as well as individuals. Notwithstanding
efforts by non-Muslim legislators in Western societies,
their ethical statutes often fall short of the mark.
