This conference volume aims to extend the emerging field of research on Islamic bioethics in four ways: geographically, by including South East Asia with regard to sources, by questioning the reduction of Islamic bioethics to the study of fatwas (Islamic legal opinions); topically, by examining issues beyond the common focus on medical interventions and technological innovation; and sociologically, by including stakeholders from secular legal institutions, medical associations and government within the analysis.
