Workshop Overview
This three-hour workshop will provide attendees with insights into the growing field of Islamic Bioethics and cover critical ethical perspectives surrounding infertility treatment options such as IVF, egg donation, sperm donation, surrogacy, adoption, and the more recent procedure – uterine transplantation. At the same time, the workshop will explore concepts of motherhood, and how infertility is viewed by the normative Islamic teachings vs. its social construction in Muslim societies. It will also equip participants with heuristics, moral frameworks, and resources to utilize when faced with, or supporting those, navigating the complexities of the different ART choices.
The workshop will utilize didactics and group-based case discussions to maximize learning. The case scenario will highlight common decision points and dilemmas faced by Muslim couples struggling with infertility, drawing from our empirical data and experiences in providing ethical consultation.
Registered participants will have access to relevant articles and the slide-deck electronically, and copies of relevant books by the author will be made available for purchase.
