Abstract
Judaism, Christianity and Islam – all three of which are Abrahamic, monotheistic religions – firmly advocate the fundamental rights of human beings, rights of confidentiality, doing good and avoiding evil, and performing duties based on the voice of one’s conscience. Here, however, we shall mostly concentrate on the Islamic viewpoint in all bioethical matters. Islam is the final religion. It sums up all that was revealed in other religions. Islam strongly believes in human dignity, the sanctity of life, and benevolence and justice. We shall examine these facts in the light of religious teachings.
