This book is a contribution to the nascent discourse on global health
and biomedical research ethics involving Muslim populations and
Islamic contexts. It presents a rich sociological account about the
ways in which debates and questions involving Islam within the
biomedical research context are negotiated - a perspective which is
currently lacking within the broader bioethics literature. The book
tackles some key understudied areas including: role of faith in moral
deliberations within biomedical research ethics, the moral anxiety and
frustration experienced by researchers when having to negotiate
multiple moral sources and how the marginalisation of women, the
prejudice and abuse faced by groups such as sex workers and those from
the LGBT community are encountered and negotiated in such contexts.
The volume provides a valuable resource for researchers and scholars
in this area by providing a systematic review of ethical guidelines
and a rich case-based account of the ethical issues emerging in
biomedical research in contexts where Islam and the religious moral
commitments of Muslims are pertinent. The book will be essential for
those conducting research in low and middle income countries that have
significant Muslim populations and for those in Muslim-minority
settings. It will also appeal to researchers and scholars in religious
studies, social sciences, philosophy, anthropology and theology, as
well as the fields of biomedical ethics, Islamic ethics and global
health..
