Scientists and clinicians must become familiar with the factors that affect the
emotional, physical, and spiritual health of their patients that are outside the
ken of the traditionally dominant value systems. Although many researchers
have addressed the cultural and ethnical factors, very few have considered
the impact of religion. Islam, as the largest and fastest growing religion in
the world, has adherents throughout the world, presents a complete moral,
ethical, and medical framework, while it sometimes concurs conflicts with
the conventional and secular ethical framework. This paper introduces to the
Islamic principles of ethics in organ transplantation involving human subject
to address issues of religion and religious ethics. Historical reflections are
discussed as to why Muslim thinkers were late to consider contemporary
medical issues such as organ donation. Islam respects life and values need of
the living over the dead, thus allowing organ donation to be considered in
certain circumstances. The sources of Islamic law are discussed in brief to
see how the parameters of organ transplantation are derived. The concept of
rewarded donation to alleviate the shortage of organs available for
transplantation is assessed.
