Opis

In this important and ambitious book, Sherine Hamdy makes a strong case for expanding bioethics while illuminating the contested meanings of Islamic modernities. This book grounds its call for a re-conceptualization of bioethics and of contemporary Islamic thought in a set of fascinating stories around organ transplantation in Egypt. Through compelling and richly narrated ethnography, Hamdy traces the moral positions of patients in need of new tissues and organs, doctors uncertain about whether transplantation entails "good" medical or religious practice, and of Islamic scholars whose pronouncements circulate in the print news, on television, and in hospital clinics. We come to understand the charismatic effects of public religious figures pronouncing on bioethical issues and their intersections and tensions with state authority.
