“…Thus, provision of regular dialysis treatment to patients in permanent vegetative state who are unaware of self and the surrounding is considered inappropriate [8,20]. When physicians are certain that the dialysis treatment is unlikely to improve the condition or the quality of life, the widely accepted ethical decision is to initiate process of withholding or withdrawing dialysis treatment to relief the patients from the burden of the symptom and the unnecessary dialysis treatment [8,25,26]. .…”

Patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) with severely impaired cognitive function have no survival benefit from dialysis. We therefore undertook a survey to explore the renal physicians’ practices of withholding and withdrawal of dialysis treatment in vegetative state patients in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). A cross sectional survey of 29 nephrology practices in UAE exploring physicians’ practices in making decisions of withholding and withdrawal of dialysis treatment during provision end-of-life care for patients in persistent vegetative state (PVS).The majority of participants practice in governmental non-for-profit dialysis units (79%), and think they are well prepared to make decision with patients and family on issues of dialysis withdrawal and withholding (69%). If a chronic dialysis patient became permanently unconscious only few respondents (17%) indicated probability of stopping dialysis. On the other hand, more respondents (48%) reported that dialysis is likely to be withheld in PVS patients who develop kidney failure. In high risk or poor prognosis ESKD patients and given how likely they would consider each option independently, respondents reported they are likely to consider time-limited dialysis in 78% of the time followed by stopping (46%) or forgoing (27%) dialysis. Majority of the participants perceived that their decisions in providing renal care for PVS patients in UAE were influenced by the family sociocultural beliefs (76% of participants), the current hospital policies (72% of participants), and by Islamic beliefs (66% of participants). Only few perceived access to palliative care (30%) and treatment cost (17%) to have an impact on their decision making.Decisions of initiation and continuation of dialysis treatment to ESKD patients in PVS are prevalent among nephrology practices in UAE. Development of local guidelines based on the societal values along with early integration of palliative kidney failure management care would be required to improve the quality of provision of end-of-life renal care in UAE.Abbreviations: ESKD: stage kidney disease; UAE: United Arab Emirates; PVS: persistent vegetative state; RPA: Renal Physicians Association; ASN: American Society of Nephrology; EMAN: Emirates Medical Association Nephrology Society; CPR: cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

“…Storing the husband ' s sperm for impregnating his wife after his death is illegal, since death terminates the marriage contract. The cryopreserved sperm or pre-embryo of an ex-husband in case of a divorce should not be used either, as divorce equally renders the union void, legally (Alaro, 2012). The scholars who allow sperm freezing also permit freezing of ova and pre-embryos.…”

“…Furthermore, in the future it may provide a solid basis for the protection of conjugal rights of wives of prisoners, particularly in civil cases (Alaro, 2012); indeed, in Saudi Arabia the incarcerated husband is allowed to have conjugal contact with his wife in the prison itself on occasion, in civil cases.…”

“…Using frozen sperm after the death of the husband is not permitted. 4 If IVF is not successful, couple has tried and exhausted all means of conception then they might feel compelled to resort to surrogacy, provided that procedures do not go against the Islamic teachings. Surrogate mother is she who carries the embryo in her womb to term and gives birth to a baby on behalf of another couple.…”

Ethical physicians seem to have become an uncommon entity in modern day medical practice. Many patients and physicians feel that the profession of medicine is not living up to its own standards and expectations. One of the reasons is the lack of knowledge of the medial professionals about their religion and medical ethics. The ethics is not being right or wrong, instead it is the process of making better decisions or worse decisions compared to the worst decision. The introduction of newer technology in medical field such as organ transplantation, biotechnical parenting, blood transfusion, surrogacy, gender identification on fetal ultrasound, female genital mutilation has posed Muslim physicians and patients with some new questions of ethics. We look upon issues from the perspective of Muslim doctors and it is therefore important to discuss few of the practices according Quran, Sunnah. If the answers are not given in Quran and sunnah then one may turn to Ijma.
