This book presents a critical analysis of the debate at the
religious, legal and political level sparked off by the
introduction of new biomedical technologies (cloning, genetics,
organ transplants, IVF, etc.) in Muslim countries. It compares the
positions of classic Muslim law and contemporary religious
authorities; laws in Muslim countries; the attitudes and concrete
behaviour of populations, families and individuals, as well as the
regulations of medical associations, bioethics committees, and
others. The result is a mosaic of positions which are often
different (including from the point of view of ethics) but all in
pursuit of legitimisation according to the Koran and the Sharia.
The work has an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on law,
sociology, anthropology, politics and the history of science. For
this reason, it will be of interest to scholars and operators in a
wide variety of disciplines and fields.
