Islamic Biomedical Ethics Principles and Application

• First book on Islamic bioethics that deals with the issues of Islamic legal thought and Islamic theological ethics

Readership: students and scholars of Islam and medical ethics

Abdulaziz Sachedina, Dr, University of Virginia

"while clearly directed to an academic audience, nonetheless raises substantive challenges for seular bioethics discourse, health policy, and espeicially for ethical reflection within the Islamic faith community ... Sachedina's is a courageous book. He does not back away from critique of Muslim religious scholarship, which he finds has failed to provide religous and moral empowerment to Muslims in general, and in the health-care context in particular." - Courtney S. Campbell, Journal of the American Academy of Religion
