This book Explores various dimensions of biotechnology in relation to preservation of human progeny. It is hoped that discussions linking advancements in biotechnology to preservation of human progeny which is one of the higher objectives of Islamic law (maqasid al-shariah ) would generate benefits in terms of responding to the challenges posed by these advancements. By looking at issues such as the ethics of artificial reproductive techniques, assisted human reproduction, and the use of biopharmaceuticals in preserving human progeny, this book serves as a useful guide to upholding the tenets of Islam when faced with the onslaught of challenges in the age of biotechnology.
