Cloning in Islamic Perspective

Posted by prince14 under

Generally, in this life, we have a rule to keep us in the right line and to keep us not to do the bad things. Also business ethic and islamic business ethic. Even we are in high level position in the organization, you still have ethic and rule to manage and point you to do the good things. With ethic, it can show you to do in a good life. Last night, I watch Mario Teguh Motivation in Metro TV Show, and I remember one think that really make me inspirated about ethic and freedom. Mario Teguh said, "you can ride or do everything you want freely in the line that limit you not to do the bad things like you ride in the road with the line limit you between left side and right side". In Indonesia language means, " Lakukan segala yang kamu sukai dengan bebas tapi harus berada di dalam batasan yang membatasimu untuk tidak berbuat sesuatu yang negatif sama halnya seperti pada saat kamu sedang mengemudikan mobil atau motor yang dibatasi oleh garis putih yang membatasi gerak lajumu antara jalur kanan dan jalur kiri".

If we look into Islamic Business Ethic, it's similar like business Ethic generally, but the differencies is the rule that applied in Islamic Business Ethic. In Islamic Business Ethic, islamic rule has been taking domination in it. In islam, we are not focused in communication with god only, but also with another human and the environment. Like in the Holy Al- Qur'an, "Hablum Minannas wa Hablum MinaAllah", It's mean you should have a good relationship not only with the lord of the world (Allah SWT) but also with the human and their environment.

Talk about Islamic Business Ethic, I have latest issue that very interesting and I thought it's good to be discused in this season, "Islamic Perspective on Cloning". As we move on to understand the ethical issues associated with cloning, at the center of the debate in Islam is going to be the question of the ways in which cloning might affect interhuman relationships. In large measures, Muslim concerns in this connection resonate the concerns voiced by Paul Ramsey about the social role of parenting and nurturing interpersonal relations. Islam regards interpersonal relationships as fundamental to human religious life. In fact, the Prophet is reported to have said that nine-tenth of religion constitutes inter-human relationship, whereas only one-tenth is God-human.

George Washington University Medical Center success research in duplicating genetically defective human embryos by blastomere separation in 1993, Manipulation of human embryos beyond IVF implantation in terms of their impact upon the fundamental general relationship between man and woman and the life-giving aspects of spousal relations that culminate in parental love and concern for their off-spring has been raised by Muslims questions. The Qur'an declares sex-pairing to be a universal law in all things. (51:49) Muslim focus of the debate on genetic replication is concerned with moral issues related to the possibility of technologically created incidental relationships without requiring spiritual and moral connection between a man and a woman in such embryonic manipulation. Can human advancement in biotechnically created relationships jeopardize the very foundation of human community, namely, a religiously and morally regulated spousal and parent-child relationship under the laws of God? Hence, the more intricate issues associated with embryo preservation and experimentation have received less emphasis in these ethical deliberations. To be sure, since the therapeutic uses of cloning in IVF appears as an aid to fertility strictly within the bounds of marriage, both monogamous and polygamous, Muslims have little problem in endorsing the technology. The opinions from the Sunni and Shi`i scholars studied for this presentation indicate that there would be almost a unanimity in Islamic rulings on therapeutic uses of cloning, as long as the lineage of the child remains religiously unblemished.

Besides the relationship issue, in the world dominated by the multi-national corporations Muslims, like other peoples around the globe, do not treat technology as amoral. No human action is possible without intention and will. In light of the manipulation of genetic engineering for hugenics in the recent history, it is reasonable for the Muslims, like the Christians and the Jews, to fear political abuse of the reproduction technology through cloning. With its emphasis on spiritual egality, Islam has refused to accord validity to any claims of superiority of one people over the other. The only valid claim to nobility in the Qur'an stems from being godfearing.

In Islamic Perspective, It is obvious that ethically cloning for purposes other than therapeutic lays enormously grave responsibility on humans in terms of genetic improvement of quality of human life, the authority that can make these decisions with necessary foresight and wisdom, and the criteria that can be used in evaluating the risks and benefits of such interventions. So, that’s the explanation if we look into Islamic Perspective. Islam has good reason and good rule related with Holy Al-Qur’an.
