Drees, “Islam and Bioethics in the Context of ‘Religion and Science’.” ISLAMIC BIOETHICS IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY by Mohammed Ghaly Abstract. Islamic bioethics is in good health, this article argues. During the twentieth century, academic researchers had to deal with a number of difficulties including the scarcity of available Islamic sources. However, the twenty-first century witnessed significant break- throughs in the field of Islamic bioethics. A growing number of nor- mative works authored by Muslim religious scholars and studies con- ducted by academic researchers have been published. This nascent field also proved to be appealing for research-funding institutions in the Muslim world and also in the West, such as the Qatar Na- tional Research Fund (QNRF) and the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). On the other hand, the article argues that contemporary Islamic bioethics is in need of addressing news issues and adopting new approaches for the sake of maintaining and improving this good health in the future.

    Bangladesh Journal of Bioethics 2012; 3(1):19-22 CONSEQUENTIAL APPROACH OF ISLAMIC BIOETHICS Arif Hossain Vice President, Bangladesh Bioethics Society ABSTRACT: Bioethics is the understanding of right, responsibility, justices and moral interaction in living being. It is the corner stone to guide the society for righteous action. Due to the enormous innovation of sciences and technology, wide-ranging ethical issues have been raised in biotechnology, nanotechnology, assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and stem cell research. These advancements could lead to irreversible disasters if not limited by ethical principles and similarly society can not gain the benefit from this new technology if not addressed by the philosophical reflection. To date few attempts appear to have been made at a critical interpretation of the philosophical reflection on Islamic bioethics. This article shows that the Islamic medical ethics is a virtue ethics, deontological ethics (moral duties and obligations) and a consequential approach. It may help the health professionals, educator and the policy maker to get insight the knowledge of new application of ART in their practice for the welfare of the society. Key words: Consequential approach and Islamic bioethics HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF ISLAMIC MEDICAL ETHICS: The Code of Hammurabi in Babylonian may the first clearly outlined medical code for the controlled medical malpractice. In 1790 B.C, the most famous Mesopotamian law, “Codex Hammurabi” that attempted to regulate medicine and to protect patient’s rights. The Codex Hammurabi described “If a surgeon performs a major operation on a nobleman with a bronze lancet and caused the death of this man, they shall cut off his hands” (Halwani and Takrouri, 2007).

    Medical Experts & Islamic Scholars Deliberating over Brain Death: Gaps in the Applied Islamic Bioethics Discoursemuwo_1342 53..72 Aasim I. Padela MD MSc1 University of Michigan School of Medicine Ann Arbor, MI Hasan Shanawani MD MPH Wayne State University School of Medicine Detroit, MI Ahsan Arozullah MD MPH University of Illinois at Chicago Chicago, IL Abstract he scope, methodology and tools of Islamic bioethics as a self-standing discipline remain open to debate. Physicians, sociologists, Islamic law experts, historians, Treligious leaders as well as policy and health researchers have all entered the global discussion attempting to conceptualize Islamic bioethics. Arguably, the implica- tions of Islamic bioethical discourse is most significant for healthcare practitioners and their patients, as patient values interact with those of healthcare providers and the medical system at large leading to ethical challenges and potential cultural conflicts. Similarly the products of the discourse are of primary import to religious leaders and Imams who advise Muslim patients on religiously acceptable medical practices. However, the process and products of the current Islamic bioethical discourse contains gaps that preclude them from meeting the needs of healthcare practitioners, religious leaders, and those they advise. Within the medical literature, published works on Islamic bioethics authored by medical practitioners often contain gaps such as the failure to account for theological debates about the role of the intellect, ‘aql, in ethical decision making, failure to utilize sources of Islamic law, and failure to address the pluralism of opinions within the Islamic 1 Address correspondence to: Aasim I.

Fifty-four years after Germany played host to the second ever Eurovision Song Contest, the musical jamboree comes to Düsseldorf this May. It’s a very different world since ARD staged the show in 1957 with just 10 nations in a small TV studio in Frankfurt. This year, a record 43 countries will take part in the three shows, with a potential audience of 35,000 live in the Esprit Arena. All 10 nations from 1957 will be on show in Germany, but only two of their languages survive. The creaky phone lines that provided the results from the 100 judges have been superseded by state of the art, pan-continental technology that involves all the 125 million viewers watching at home. It’s a very different show indeed. Back in 1957, Lys Assia attempted to defend her Eurovision crown and this year Germany’s Lena will become the third artist taking a crack at the same challenge.
