الملخص EN

nsidered as one of the biggest achievements that the human has known, because of its treatments progress both on the proliferating side by solving the sterilization problems or on the healthy side through replacing the damaged organs by intact organs that allowed the human to continue his life without any pains, which is known by the organ transplantation in the regenerative medicine.

However, the human could not runway from pains and diseases using this technique, he is still menaced that his immune system will reject in any moment this new organ, that’s why his life became subject to the anti-rejection drugs, in addition the lack or scarcity of the available organs to be transplanted, which led many people to death when they are waiting for their turn to obtain the required organ, nevertheless the modern medicine did not give up to these difficulties, it discovered a new method to regenerate the human organs by a method may be it is more better than the first one.

The human has obtained a new organ; this method is called the stem cells that the human can obtain from several sources.

But, these sources remain pursued and forbidden by moral and legal restrictions or they face the same problem of organ’s rejection by the immune system of the patient - that faced the human or animal organs – which are transplanted by the traditional method, so the only hope is to obtain the stem cells from the same patient in order to avoid any problem of rejection, or from the umbilical cord which is often unavailable, however the second problem is that the specification of the multipotent stem cells, and they can be obtained only from the organ that they are taken from.

In this matter the Biology with its new techniques -genetic modification – is used in order to reprogram these multipotent stem cells to turn it to the embryonic phase, then, through this one the required organ can be obtained when the suitable conditions are provided.

These new medical treatments remain in need for a legal and religious framing in the Islamic world, the Islam determinate the total concept of the human and the existence, which is based on honoring the human in several aspects: honoring him by the knowledge, and honoring him by preserving himself is a principal element among the elements of the Islamic religion, and what follows this such as the preserve of his life before and after his birth – regardless of his sex, color, ethnicity and religion – this is the right of Allah, no one can breakthrough it for the benefit of another human.
