Islam and Biomedical Research Ethics

Suleman, Mehrunisha

2021,2020

Overview

This book is a contribution to the nascent discourse on global health and biomedical research ethics involving Muslim populations and Islamic contexts. It presents a rich sociological account about the ways in which debates and questions involving Islam within the biomedical research context are negotiated – a perspective which is currently lacking within the broader bioethics literature. The book tackles some key understudied areas, including: the role of faith in moral deliberations within biomedical research ethics; the moral anxiety and frustration experienced by researchers when having to negotiate multiple moral sources and how the marginalisation of women or the prejudice and abuse faced by groups, such as sex workers and those from the LGBT community, are encountered and negotiated in such contexts. The volume provides a valuable resource for researchers and scholars in this area by providing a systematic review of ethical guidelines and a rich case-based account of the ethical issues emerging in biomedical research in contexts where Islam and the religious moral commitments of Muslims are pertinent. The book will be essential for those conducting research in low- and middle-income countries that have significant Muslim populations and for those in Muslim-minority settings. It will also appeal to researchers and scholars in religious studies, social sciences, philosophy, anthropology and theology, as well as the fields of biomedical ethics, Islamic ethics and global health.
