Muslims believe that everything they own is given to them as anamanah (trust) from Allah. The author sheds light on how modern medical issues should be handled in light of our Islamic responsibilities. Organ Transplantation, Euthanasia, Cloning and Animal Experimentation have given rise to a host of ethico-legal issues. Muslims believe that everything they own has been given to them as anamanah (trust) from Allah. Would it constitute a breach of that trust to consent to enroll oneself as an organ donor? Cloning could rectify the problem of infertile couples, but such technology could also be abused with dire consequences. While euthanasia may apparently alleviate the suffering of the terminally ill, would that not compound their agony in the life hereafter? The author sheds light on these issues and acquaints the reader with the latest rulings on these biotechnological manipulations. Abul Fadl Mohsin Ebrahim, hailing from the Seychelles, resides in South Africa.
