Advancements in medical and healthcare fields have sparked discussions within the Islamic community, particularly regarding healthcare decisions spanning birth to death. Technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), robotic-assisted surgery, organ transplantation, 3D bioprinting of organs, and genetically modified babies raise ethical dilemmas. Mental health issues among adolescents due to online content consumption and elderly care complexities add to these concerns. This discussion aims to address the ethical implications of modern healthcare technologies from an Islamic perspective. Supporting Islamic principles with medical progress is crucial, requiring the establishment of Bio-ethics committees guided by Islamic teachings and scholars' rulings. These committees would ensure ethical decision-making in healthcare, considering critical conditions under which these technologies can be ethically employed.
