چکیده:
The subject of this study is investigating eugenic or genetic
improvement as one of the most important contemporary issues of
practical ethnics. Statement of the problem is as the following: is
promoting genetic structure of human race possible through genetic
engineering and storage of sperms of men with outstanding features in
sperm banks and implanting them into the uterus of women on large
scale either naturally or through artificial insemination? Improving the
quality of human race and eliminating or reducing genetic defects
through control of behavioral and biological changes in the human
genome, it’s being good or evil and morally and religiously acceptable, is
an important issue that should be explored.
The main objective of this descriptive-analytical study is, in addition
to critical investigation of immoral genetic evolution, presenting a new
outlook of the comprehensive religion of Islam to achieve a clean and
well-educated generation and remove the defects and genetic
shortcomings to acquire an ideal society. The most important result of
this research is that Islam confirms genetic engineering through different
methods and, even, presents several recommendations in this regard.
Ignoring moral principles, identity crisis, reinforcing racism, fall of
genetic knowledge, possibility of mental and psychological problems,
ignoring will power, and political and social abuses are most important
critiques of genetic engineering which is done through controlling and
changing human gnomes.
