Regulatory safeguards needed if preimplantation genetic testing for polygenic risk scores (PGT-P) is permitted in Singapore
Singapore, a highly affluent island city-state located in Southeast Asia, has increasingly leveraged new assisted reproductive technologies (ART) to overcome its dismal fertility rates in recent years. A new frontier in ART is preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) for polygenic risk scores (PRS) to predict complex multifactorial traits in IVF (in vitro fertilisation) embryos, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and various other char…
Caveats on human cognitive enhancement technologies based on the sociocultural context of Singapore
A survey study by Haining et al reported significantly higher percentages of Singaporeans approving of human cognitive enhancement via reprogenetic technologies, as compared with American respondents in a similar previous survey study conducted in the USA. Some caveats on human cognitive enhancement with reprogenetic technologies, such as polygenic embryo screening and germline gene editing, are thus discussed based on the local sociocultural con…
Can Global Bioethics Benefit From Islamic Jurisprudential Principles
Contemporary bioethical debates in the West are often polarized between secular liberal and conservative Christian perspectives, leaving limited space for cultural viewpoints rooted in non‐Western traditions such as those of Hinduism, Confucianism, Islam and various African value systems. Secular liberalism's emphasis on individual autonomy often clashes with the communitarian and family‐centred ethics prevalent in many Asian and African societie…
Human cognitive enhancement and reprogenetic technologies in Malaysia – A survey study of local Muslim undergraduate students' viewpoints
A three-pronged governance approach for human enhancement technologies is thus proposed, which encompasses (i) bioethical safeguards, (ii) public engagement and education, and (iii) economic accessibility. It is suggested that the Malaysian government should actively consult relevant stakeholders and various segments of the public before enacting future legislation on these technologies
Synthetic Human Embryos, Embryo Models and Embryo-like Structures in Islam
A major breakthrough in developmental biology is the ex vivo generation of synthetic human embryos from stem cells. A comprehensive, in-depth bioethical analysis from a Sunni Islamic perspective reveals that the reproductive applications of synthetic human embryos contravene Islamic precepts of preserving lineage integrity (Hifz al-Nasl) due to disruption and confusion of kinship and familial relationships, similar to human cloning with somatic c…
