onfronted by modern men and women in Islamic societies.- Developing electronic archive of the fatawa dealing with
all kinds of issues confronted by modern men and women in
Islamic societies.

responsibility from Islamic point of view in the context of

The global nature of biomedical technology and its accompanying moral dilemmas are faced by all members of the world community. We are working to make Islamic medical ethics as an important component of the international ethical deliberations.
