| Summary: | Man and pig have an almost similar physiology. This
similarity is found in the physiological systems that
provides certain health benefits in particular as a
therapeutic medium. The suitability of porcine-based
tissues and cells for xenotransplantation at that point
in time only involve heart valves, β cells, renal cells,
hepatic cells and porcine insulin. Other parts are
deemed unsuitable due to rejection by the human body
and the inability to function normally. This article
used the method of content analysis to look at the
suitability of using porcine-based elements in certain
situations as outlined in Islam. From this analysis, it
is found that, while both man and pig have similar
physiological systems, this does not mean that porcinebased
elements are allowed to be used in normal
circumstances in Islam unless its usage is governed
by the principle of darurah. The use of porcine-based
elements is only allowed in high risk situations which endanger the life of man if porcine-based elements
are not used. |
