12. ETHICS OF GENE THERAPY
12.1 Ethical Analysis

Moslem scholars and scientists have many potential ethical tasks, from providing information to suggesting principles for regional and international legal recognition. The International Bioethic committee (IBC) in its ethics evaluative role must suggest ethical principles that are grounded in universal ideas even as it takes account of the happy diversity of cultural and religious traditions that co-exist in the world.

The principles and materials explained in the holly book of Quran and Hadeith yield a rich supply of guidance for evaluating what should be done in discrete bioethics cases. As result Muslim scholars and scientists are encouraged to discuss the recent advances in the genetic fields among which is gene therapy.
