Infertility is a disease so it is OK to find a cure.

Having children helps to keep the Allah expects His creation to reproduce couple and family together.

If it is the will of Allah for the couple not to have children they should accept that.

The social status and self-esteem of a woman are related to her ability to have children.

Children have the right to know their natural parents.

Allah has given humans the ability to create life in this way.

Infertility is part of a test from Allah.

Marriage is a contract between the wife and husband. There should be no third person involved. Donors must not be related to the parents wanting a child. Egg and sperm donation is allowed but the child produced cannot inherit from their biological parents.

Shari’ah Law allows the extra embryos to be destroyed as they are not alive yet. The use of sperm or eggs from another person is regarded as ADULTERY

What organs can be donated?

In 2007, 7234 people were on the waiting list for vital organ donations. However, in 2006 only 3000 transplants took place.

In a survey, 90% of the public were in favour of transplant surgery yet less than 50% have registered. One third of families refuse to give permission for organs of deceased relatives to be used, even though the person has already signed the organ donation register.

Use the picture clues to come up with the

POINTS

these to finish both of sentences.

Most Christians are supportive of transplant surgery because… Christians who believe in the immortality of the soul believe the body is not needed after death and so organs can be used to help the living. Jesus’ teaching of ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ and the Golden Rule are both in keeping with the ideals of transplant surgery However, they would be against selling organs as this can lead to the exploitation of the poor (e.g. A father selling a kidney to feed his family).

However, some Christians accept live transplants but not those from deceased donors because… They would see the vital organs, particularly the heart, as part of God’s creation of the individual person and so should not be used.

Humans do not have the right to act like God and using the organs of a dead person to give life to another is usurping the role of God for yourself.

Using organs from living people does not affect the belief in the sanctity of life and so can be used to fulfil the teachings of Jesus in the Bible. However, they would be against selling organs as this can lead to medical assistance only available for the rich and not for the poor.

Transplant surgery may go against

Allah’s plan

.

IT GOES AGAINST TEACHINGS IN THE QUR’AN

The body, including its organs, is holy and should not be interfered with. Organ donation delays burial. Giving away body parts is not allowed as the body is a

GIFT

from Allah. Use the picture clues to come up with the

Muslims who save people from death.

The Qur’an promotes the saving of a life and hold its in great esteem. Only Allah can give life and take life away. It prevents suffering – the necessity makes the unlawful lawful.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:12-13 “It is He, who has created for you all things that are on earth.” (Surah 2.29).
