Decisions at the end of life are not confined to clinical assessments as to what would be in the best interests of a patient from a purely medical perspective, but must necessarily take into account the patient’s values and beliefs. Medical Decisions at the End of Life: An Islamic Perspective highlights the importance of religious considerations in the decision-making process at the end of life. It provides insight into the viewpoints of the major religions in Malaysia on the sanctity of life, patient autonomy and other ethical issues in relation to end-of-life decisions, with particular focus on the Islamic perspective, due to its position as the country’s official religion and its influence on Malaysia’s socio-legal development. This book will accordingly be useful for medical professionals, health care providers including non-governmental organisations, and the general public.
