Islamic Medical and Scientific Ethics
The Qatar National Research Fund awarded a three-year, $1,050,000 grant to the Bioethics Research Library to develop information services on Islamic Medical and Scientific Ethics. Since October 2009, the project staff (working in Georgetown libraries in Qatar and Washington) have identified more than 800 writings and added them to the Islamic Medical and Scientific Ethics database. You may search the database directly or use the links below to get an initial look into the kinds of bibliographic materials being collected. These lists have been drawn from the databases of the Bioethics Research Library.
- Bioethics, General
- Abortion
- Death and Dying
- Genetics
- Health Care
- Human Experimentation
- International Issues
- Organ Transplantation
- Reproductive Technologies
- Books and Reports
- Organizations
- Syllabi
In the second phase of this project, core documents written in Arabic will be translated into English and offered digitally as full text, wherever possible.
Print materials are housed in the Bioethics Research Library, and a companion physical collection will be established in the future in Qatar.
Suggestions and donations of additions to the collection are appreciated.
