WHERE THEY STAND

Some positions taken by the Islamic Medical Association of North America to guide Muslims on medical ethics:

Terminal illness: When death becomes inevitable, the patient should be allowed to die without unnecessary procedures.

Organ donation: Giving and receiving organs allowed for the purpose of saving life.

Reproductive technologies: Allowed if using husband's sperm and the wife's ovaries and uterus. No third party involvement is allowed.

Abortion: Not permissible unless mother's life is at risk or in cases of rape, incest or extreme fetal congenital malformations.
