Abstract
Chapter 9 discusses medical genetics and genomics research in the muslim world. Medical genetics involves the application of genetic knowledge and technology to address specific clinical and epidemiologic issues. Using genetics to benefit society requires the use of empirically verified knowledge within an ethical framework that combines appeal to written precedent with sensitivity to the options of individuals and families dealing with choices and necessities within the laws, norms, and traditions of their society. The practice of medical genetics is directly influenced by rules of bioethics. Bioethics is the study of ethical, social, legal, philosophical, and other related issues arising in healthcare and biological sciences. Medical ethics are based on the moral, religious, and philosophical ideals and principles of the society in which they are practiced. It is, therefore, not surprising to find that what is ethical in one society might not be ethical in another society. It is mandatory for the practicing physicians to be aware of such backgrounds before they make their judgments on different medical practice decisions .
