This book treats the most prominent issues in medical ethics in the twentieth century, such as abortion, artificial insemination, organ transplantation, euthanasia etc., as discussed by Muslim religious scholars, physicians and jurists. Despite the semi-equal spread of medical knowledge among the peoples of the world and the shared dilemmas brought about by modern medicine, Muslims tend to follow their own medical ethics, which agree ultimately with the basic requirements of Islamic religion and law.
