• HUMAN ORGAN TRANSPLANTION
• CLONING
• ABORTION
• TEST-TUBE BABIES

Speakers:

Dr. Abdul-Wajid Hamed, Paediatrician

Dr. Salman Rahman, Molecular Biologist

Held: Thursday 24th October 2002

There have been immense scientific developments by scientists. These have been in the fields of biology, foetal sciences, sciences of cells, medical biology, genetic engineering, stem cell technology as well as animal cloning, as a preface for human cloning. These developments have exceeded all expectations and have been acknowledged with amazement.

Although science is common and not particular to specific viewpoint in life, its products and its applications, are to be used according to the Ahkam Shari‘ah (Divine Texts). In light of this the two distinguished speakers explain the Islamic viewpoint towards this subject based upon the Islamic evidences through the process of Ijtihad (how these rules are extracted).
