Materials and Methods : In the present review-study, using keywords such as Hikmat, aristid ethics, medical research, medical ethics as well as bioethics, we searched for the published articles and resources regarding this topic, and then they were analyzed. Ethical Considerations : Honesty in the literature and citation analysis and reporting were considered. Findings : From old days, pious people always had sought wisdom. Medicine was considered a kind of practical wisdom that is called pyrrhonism or wisdom and physician was known as a pious person. A physician must reach the highest degree of knowledge so he would gain virtue. In the past, science was accompanied by the perfectness of soul and physician for achieving the truth, had to learn the medicine along with wisdom, because wisdom and medicine had a close relationship. But nowadays seems that medical science inters into the age of instability and morals in all fields have collapsed and continuance of this process has not any bright perspective for the future of medicine. One of the obvious reasons of this situation in two recent decades is separation between medical sciences and humanism. Conclusion : In recent decades that western world was in seek of ethics for the purpose of amends the lack of religion and virtuality in their society, we in a opposite attitude with separation of tentative science especially medicine from humanism, have caused a great and irrecoverable damages on the body of our medicine, so that unfortunately our country is following the west in this matter. The reason of this matter is in the collapse of values that was the foundation of previous wisdom, the wisdom that seems to be the missing segment of current medicine. Citation : Abbasi M.

This review is conducted to identify the liability of the health staff in complications of organ transplantation process and in particular, the role of donor and recipient in the liability arising from it. Materials and Methods : In the present review, utilizing the keywords of organ transplantation, civil liability, and rejection in databases of Magiran, Google, SID, the related articles are studied and analyzed. Ethical Considerations : Honesty in the literature and citation analysis and reporting were considered. Findings : The liability arising from rejection and other complications of transplantation, has usually a contractual figure, and unlike other medical responsibilities, it has a feature that there are two contracts of \"transfer of organ between donor and recipient\" and \"therapy contract\" behind it. In cases where transplant rejection is caused by a defect in the transplanted organ and the donor is aware of it, transplant rejection is attributed to the recipient with no goodwill; with violation of \"implied term of the transplanted organ health\" in the contract between the donor and recipient, his liability is the case. Therapy contract follows the general rule enacted by the new Islamic Penal Code adopted in 2013, and the doctor and other factors caused transplant rejection, in case of fault, are responsible for compensation for the damages to the transplanted organ recipient. Conclusion : In principle, donor and devisees of a person who is brain dead, in many cases, are exempt from the liability arising from transplant rejection or other complications, according to benefaction rule, and in cases where transplant rejection is attributed to the recipient, he/she is exempt from compensation.

Obtaining deep and accurate recognition of these subjects, the attention of the physicians and the scholars of different fields, especially of the ethics has been drawn to medical ethics as a new solution in the comprehensive Healthcare System. Materials and Methods : Available, published and related articles were located with an Ovid MEDLINE search for \"Ethics, Medical,\" and \"Ethics\". The Internet was searched for \"medical and ethics,\" \"ethics,\" \"science and ethics,\" and \"research and ethics\" using the Google search engine (www.google.com). Ethical Considerations : The principles of research ethics have been observed in studies and citing the primary texts and sources. Findings : Despite the great changes in medical technologies, there are still some concerns about the physicians' abilities in decision makings that may directly or indirectly affect the health or life of the people. Therefore these concerns have leaded to the appearance of new movements all calling for the patients' rights and the rights of society to participate in medical decision-makings. On the other hand we should notice about some other cases that play effective roles in policy makings of the comprehensive healthcare system. For instance, the required resources will vary following the changes in technology; the population especially of the elderly is increasing; moreover the time needed for the new work forces to be entered into the labor market has typically increased. Consequently, a higher number of people are waiting to benefit from the recourses and lower number of them is involved in producing the recourses. Conclusion : Thus, to work on the important topics like the requirements of human societies, ethical considerations of biotechnology and medical researches, Allocation of limited and immense resources, important ethical criteria of decision makings, representation of fundamental solutions and medical ethics trainings is considered as one of the most basic necessities of comprehensive healthcare system among others.

So that the pursuit of philosophical works written in this regard, can also be done with difficulty. This article seeks to introduce the main philosophical mainstream in this area and analyze the philosophical method and introduce the most effective and appropriate for Iran society. Materials and Methods : In this review article, to introduce major approaches and theories in this article is used some of the most important available philosophical and religious texts. This critical review method in this article can be contained following the analytical method (analytic philosophy). Ethical Considerations : In this review article, honesty and integrity have been considered and it has been tried to provide reasonable criteria as the moral duty of the researcher, as far as possible. Findings : The behavior that humans have with animals is the subject of a branch of applied ethics, which is called animal ethics. There are various approaches in animal ethics: an analytical approach, continental approach, pragmatic attitude and theological approach. On the other hand, the ethics philosophers have used classical theories of ethics in this field and announced their position about animals. In a general classification, these views are in two categories: (1) direct theories (2) indirect theories. The indirect theories include theories of Kant and social contract and direct theories are divided into two categories: ideas and theories believing in the equality of human beings and animals and theories attached to the lack of equality. Conclusion : Although the approaches and theories mentioned above, all can be effective as efficient theoretical tools in support of animal rights and decreasing their suffering, but since Iran is less philosophical and more religious community, the theological approach can be more efficient in the field of animal rights.

Asli","doi":"10.22037/BHL.V1I1.16822","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22037/BHL.V1I1.16822","url":null,"abstract":"Background and Aim : Gender Dysphoria is the formal diagnosis of psychiatrists that is used to describe a person who has been seriously dissatisfied with his or her gender at birth or the gender role that the society considered for them. Some research and studies have been conducted related to investigating social and family dimensions and consequences of this disorder. Surveys and case studies have been done regarding the personality disorders, and personality patterns, and the adaptability of the role and sexual identity of these patients with their new gender, but there are still unanswered questions in this case. Thus, by investigating the legitimacy of sex change surgery in terms of jurisprudence and legal elements before and after sex change, this study tries to remove the ambiguity in this area. Materials and Methods : In this study, using keywords such as sex change, Gender Identity Diorder and ‘Gender Dysphoria’ in the jurisprudence and legal areas of SID, Google Scholar, Magiran, Noormags databases, the related resources were studied and analyzed. Ethical Considerations : Honesty and trusteeship were taken into consideration in the analysis of information and sources. Findings : There is no single perspective in terms of legitimacy or prohibition of sex change surgery among scholars and grand Ayatollahs. Some have absolutely permitted sex change surgery and some others believe that superficial sex change is not permissible without a creatural background. There is also a legal gap not only in the Islamic Penalty Code (IPC), but also in other Iranian laws on the provisions and conditions of sex change. This issue has raised ambiguity in the rights and duties of people seeking sex change surgery. This is while, in the laws of many other countries, this issue has been explicitly mentioned, and this framework greatly contributes many people with ‘Gender Dysphoria’ and removes confusions in this regard. Conclusion : In the Iranian law, the approval of laws regarding the provision of medical facilities, insurance services and the adoption of clear and transparent rules on the status of marriage, dowry, inheritance, custody and guardianship of children will remarkably contribute to the process of recognition of people with difficulties in sexual identity among men and women. Also when considering the genetic and biological factors that contribute to Gender Dysphoria, the promotion of the culture of dealing with the phenomenon of sex transfer applicants through raising awareness in the media is felt.

More questions, challenges and uncertainties in biotechnology have made applied ethics, as a part of its ethics and philosophy, to investigate the issue and find relevant appropriate solutions based on ethical principles and theories. Materials and Methods : The current study aimed at casting light on bioethics and its scope using primary and authentic sources on bioethics and seeking the related keywords in these sources. Ethical Considerations : The principles of research ethics have been observed in studies and citing the primary texts and sources. Findings : Providing an all-inclusive definition of bioethics and its place in different disciplines of ethics, this short discussion tackles the area, realm, and significance of the issues in bioethics. Technologies such as assisted reproductive, in vitro fertilization (IVF), human and animal cloning, obtaining stem cells and using them, euthanasia, and manufacture of human organs and their transplantation are the most challenging matters for which within bioethics, the fundamental answers and strategies against the questions and challenges of their emergence are elaborated. Conclusion : Bioethics is a new area of interest in applied normative ethics which, as an interdisciplinary, examines systematically the moral challenges coming from biological science and medical innovations and organizes the must-to-dos in this connection. The realm of bioethics comprises distinction of consequences of applying modern biomedical technologies against the ethical principles and standards within human life. The aforesaid technologies and advancements that make up issues in bioethics are grouped in four categories: Life preserver technologies at the beginning of life and during it; Life lasting technologies to promote the life quality; Reproductive and esp. cloning technologies; Technologies associated with genetic engineering and gene therapy.
