Islamic bioethics and modern globalization values collide as global forces permeate Muslim-majority countries, necessitating thoughtful integration to foster mutual understanding. This research explores Islamic perspectives on biomedical advances to identify areas of convergence and divergence with globalized values. Utilizing theoretical analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization, notable findings emerged. While globalization promotes unhindered medical procedures, Islamic bioethics exhibits nuanced positions reflecting the lack of unity of Islam. Key results showed Islamic bioethics aligns with global values on some procedures, like organ transplantation and early abortion, but diverges on assisted reproduction, surrogate motherhood and active euthanasia due to moral prohibitions. Ultimately, this research highlights the importance of gradual integration that respects Islamic traditions, paired with education to increase understanding and openness to bioethical evolution. Thoughtful navigation of the intricate nexus between globalization and Islamic bioethics can enable pursuit of life-affirming medical advancement without sacrificing core values
