1Islamic Medical Association of North America. sathar3624@aol.com
Summary
New bioethical choices, like enhancement technologies, challenge Muslim patients and providers. This article explores reconciling personal autonomy with Islamic Shariah (jurisprudence) for informed decision-making.
Area of Science:
- Bioethics
- Islamic Jurisprudence
Background:
- Contemporary bioethics presents novel dilemmas, particularly concerning enhancement technologies.
- Muslim patients and healthcare providers face challenges in navigating these advancements.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the ethical considerations for Muslim patients and providers regarding new bioethical choices.
- To examine the reconciliation of personal autonomy with Islamic Shariah (jurisprudence).
Main Methods:
- This article discusses ethical concerns and provides a framework for decision-making.
- It involves a review of bioethical principles and Islamic legal perspectives.
Main Results:
- Challenges arise in balancing patient autonomy with Islamic ethical guidelines.
- Guidance is needed for appropriate decision-making in bioethical contexts.
Conclusions:
- Reconciling personal autonomy with Islamic Shariah is crucial for Muslim patients.
- Further discussion is needed to address the ethical implications of enhancement technologies within Islamic bioethics.

03:00Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
01:24Humanistic Psychology
Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.

01:29Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances
Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...
02:57The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...
01:29Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

01:22MOSFET: Enhancement Mode
Enhancement-mode MOSFETs are pivotal components in electronics, distinguished by their capacity to act as highly efficient switches. They are part of the larger family of metal-oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs). They are available in two types: p-channel and n-channel, each tailored to specific polarity operations.
In their basic form, enhancement-mode MOSFETs are typically non-conductive when the gate-source voltage (Vgs) is zero. This default 'off' state means no current...
