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.
