| description | Due to globalizing trend of homogenisation of culture, changes in the health care delivery system and
market economics infringing on the practice of medicine, there has been a gradual shift in the attitude of
the medical community as well as the lay public towards greater acceptance of euthanasia as an option

review this topic from Islamic perspective due to its significance in medical ethics and clinical practice. |
