This book analyzes the national debate over organ transplantation in Egypt as it has unfolded during a time of major social and political transformation-including mounting dissent against a brutal regime, the privatization of health care, advances in science, the growing gap between rich and poor, and the Islamic revival. Sherine Hamdy recasts bioethics as a necessarily political project as she traces the moral positions of patients in need of new tissues and organs, doctors uncertain about whether transplantation is a "good" medical or religious practice, and Islamic scholars. Her richly narrated study delves into topics including current definitions of brain death, the authority of Islamic fatwas, reports about the mismanagement of toxic waste predisposing the poor to organ failure, the Egyptian black market in organs, and more. Incorporating insights from a range of disciplines, Our Bodies Belong to God sheds new light on contemporary Islamic thought, while challenging the presumed divide between religion and science, and between ethics and politics. 606 $aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc - Egypt 606 $aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc - Religious aspects - Islam 606 $aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc. -- Egypt 606 $aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc. -- Religious aspects -- Islam 606 $aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc$xReligious aspects$xIslam$zEgypt 606 $aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc 606 $aEthics 606 $aTransplantation 606 $aReligion 606 $aHumanities 606 $aSurgical Procedures, Operative 606 $aBioethical Issues 606 $aIslam 606 $aOrgan Transplantation 606 $aReligion and Medicine 606 $aSurgery & Anesthesiology$2HILCC 606 $aHealth & Biological Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aTransplantation of Organs & Tissues$2HILCC 615 4$aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc - Egypt. 615 4$aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc - Religious aspects - Islam. 615 4$aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc. -- Egypt. 615 4$aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc. -- Religious aspects -- Islam. 615 0$aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc.$xReligious aspects$xIslam 615 0$aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc. 615 2$aEthics. 615 2$aTransplantation. 615 2$aReligion. 615 2$aHumanities. 615 2$aSurgical Procedures, Operative. 615 2$aBioethical Issues. 615 2$aIslam. 615 2$aOrgan Transplantation. 615 2$aReligion and Medicine. 615 7$aSurgery & Anesthesiology 615 7$aHealth & Biological Sciences 615 7$aTransplantation of Organs & Tissues 676 $a174.297954 676 $a174.297954 700 $aHamdy$b Sherine$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01887719 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957855203321 996 $aOur Bodies Belong to God$94525278 997 $aUNINA
