Islam bioethics:
Euthanasia - Human beings are crowns of gods creation on earth and should strive to survive
- an I'll person has a duty to seek treatment and a physician must strive to save the life of all humans
- The Quran highlights that it is a sin to take human life, under no circumstances should one take their own life, one should strive to save the life of another
- Euthanasia is prohibited
Abortion - feutus is a creation of Allah and no one but the creator has the right to take that life away
Quran - "And kill not your children for fear of poverty. He shall provide for them as well as for you. Surely the killing of them is a great sin" (Surah Al-Isra 17:31)
- people should not abort their child for the fear of poverty, Allah will provide
- abortion however is permitted if the mothers life is at risk, the pregnancy is a result of rape and some scholars permit abortion before 120 days as a Hadith by the prophet said the soul does not enter the feutus until 120 days
- before 120 days the feutus is not living and abortion doesn't amount to killing
Cloning
- human cloning is haram because it is unnatural and the Quran asserts the creation of human beings should be made through male and female
- Quran: ' Oh mankind we have created you from a male and female and made you unto nations of tribes, that you may know one another' ( Surah al-hujurat 44:13)
- cloning is not creation of life, but exploiting am existing life
The egg used in cloning is a creation of god therefore clinging is manipulating an existing life therefore most scholars prohibit human cloning
