Islamic bioethics, or Islamic medical ethics, ((アラビア語:الأخلاق الطبية) ''al-akhlaq al-tibbiyyah'') refers to Islamic guidance on ethical or moral issues relating to medical and scientific fields, in particular, those dealing with human life.〔Shomali, Mohammad Ali. "Islamic Bioethics: A General Scheme." Journal of Medical Ethics and History of Medicine. 1.1 (2008): 3.〕〔Atighetchi, Darius. Islamic Bioethics: Problems and Perspectives. 31. Springer, 2007. 19.〕 ==Introduction == In Islam, human life is regarded as an invaluable gift from God, and should therefore be both respected and protected.〔Shomali, Mohammad Ali. "Islamic Bioethics: A General Scheme." Journal of Medical Ethics and History of Medicine. 1.1 (2008): 1-2.〕〔Younis, Huda. "Islamic Bioethics." O&G Magazine Winter 2008: 24.〕 This is evident in many Qur’anic verses or ''ayat'', one of the most important being:
It is this verse which has ultimately fueled the interest in Islamic bioethics and within it exist two basic principles which ensure that the sanctity of human life is preserved: # Saving a life is obligatory. # Unjustified taking of a life is classified as murder and, thus, forbidden. Though Muslims recognize and maintain that Allah is the ultimate source of life (Qur’an 2:258), the Qur’an illustrates that God has instilled in them reason, free will, the ability to distinguish between what is morally acceptable and what is unacceptable (Qur’an 91:8) while also supplying the provisions of nature (Qur’an 45:13).〔 With these things, Muslims are held responsible for maintaining health and preventing illness. In the event that illness occurs, Muslims are obliged to seek medical treatment in a manner which is Islamically appropriate and permissible.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Islamic bioethics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
