Since the transmission of the disease is most relevant to human deviant behavior, a stigma against the disease has been formed. This study seeks to examine the effect of the stigmatization the disease imposed on the treatment process and interaction between the physician and HIV/AIDS-positive patient in the Iranian society. Materials and Methods : A qualitative research method has been used in this study. Data collection has been carried out through interviews. Depth interview and semi-structured interviews have been employed for the patients and doctors respectively. This study was done in the consultation center and infectious disease ward of Imam Khomeini hospital. Six clients of the consultation center and seven infectious disease specialists were selected. Ethical Considerations : The study followed standard ethics guidelines concerning informed consent and confidentiality. Findings : HIV/AIDS-related stigma has sparked illogical fears, affects physician-patient interaction in the medical community and has led to discrimination among these patients in many cases in terms of the right to treatment. Conclusion : The results obtained showed the unfavorable impacts of the AIDS-related stigma imposed on the medical community and this is an obstacle facing patients with HIV/AIDS to achieve equal treatment rights. The results of the present study show the role of stigma in converting this disease into a socio-cultural phenomenon. Physicians, like other members of society are affected by values, norms and are constructs of society. Citation: Tavakol M. Nikayin D. Rezaei M.

This study aimed to analyze the discussion of consent and innocence and its impact on medical liability falling. Materials and Methods : In the present study, keywords of consent, innocence, doctor, and liability in databases PubMed, Magiran, SID, ISC and Google Scholar were searched and relevant literatures were searched and analyzed. Ethical Considerations : Principles of ethics and integrity in the search, citation and literature analysis were taken into consideration. Findings : In this study, after explaining the concept of patient consent and satisfactory and capacity conditions in its declaration and also the concept of innocence and its terms, it is emphasized that every wise and mature person has the right to decide about the treatment or medical method recommended for him. Conclusion : Although the legislator explicitly pointed to obtain consent from the patient or his legal representatives in surgeries and medical operations and the existence of such consent in all surgical and medical operations in known as a requirement except in cases of urgent, but due to the fact that in our legal system to comply with Jurisprudence, the obligation to result in surgeries and medical operations indicates the nature of the commitment of doctors and theoretical basis of medical liability, obtaining patient consent, legitimation of medical procedures and respecting the legitimacy of scientific and technical aspects of the state system are not the complete reasons of the collapse of medical liability and compensation the physician is responsible for compensation of the damages applied to the patient, unless before starting treatment acquittal is received from the patient or his representatives.

{"title":"Islamic Bioethics and Secular Bioethics and Interaction between them","authors":"M. Abbasi, E. S. Gooshki","doi":"10.22037/BHL.V1I1.16818","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22037/BHL.V1I1.16818","url":null,"abstract":"Background and Aim : Nowadays, we are observing the increasing development of sciences, particularly biological sciences and medicine. In the Muslim world, ethical requirements of such scientific developments are taken into account without paying sufficient attention to their indigenous and Islamic aspects. Even international institutions are not properly informed of the need for the religious aspects of bioethical discourse in Muslim countries. Hence, this study attempts to address the differences in the ideologies of these two ethical theories. Materials and Methods : In this review article, the keywords \"bioethics\", \"Islam\", \"secularism\", \"philosophy of ethics\", \"ideology differences\" and \"ethical theories in secularism\" were searched in PubMed, SID and Google Scholar databases and the relevant literature was determined and analyzed. Ethical Considerations : Honesty and integrity were taken into consideration in searching, analyzing, and reporting the texts. Findings : Of the appropriate methods in analyzing the texts, one is the comparative study between the ideological and meta-ethical foundations of Islamic bioethics and secular bioethics, some of which are: the differences in the belief in the origin of existence and the Creator of existence; differences in the attitudes towards the totality of existence; differences in the views of the materialistic existence and the laws governing it. In addition, there exist anthropological differences in these two ethical theories, among which we can refer to the differences in the attitudes towards the creation of human beings, the differences in the attitudes towards the dimensions of human existence, and life after death. Finally, we can also refer to the meta-ethical differences between Islamic bioethics and secular bioethics, including the difference in moral ontology, the difference in ethical epistemology, ethical semantics, as well as a number of similarities between Islamic bioethics and secular bioethics that are mostly normative similarities. Conclusion : Accepting the differences and similarities can be found as a present reality to begin a constructive bilateral dialogue and to introduce the fundamentals of Islamic bioethics.

{"title":"Legal Features and Aspects of Medical Tourism","authors":"Nazanin Abualhasani","doi":"10.22037/BHL.V1I1.16821","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22037/BHL.V1I1.16821","url":null,"abstract":"Background and Aim : The high cost of health care and long waiting time of the patients caused creation of the motivation that patients, especially from the developed countries, receive these services in other countries. On the other hand, also in developing countries, factors such as globalization and liberalization of trade in health services, led the way for the rapid growth of medical tourism. However, these industry is facing a number of challenges, among the most important, legal aspects can be noted. Since little research has been done in this regard, the aim of this study is to evaluate the legal aspects related to medical tourism. Materials and Methods : This study is a review article on the legal issues of medical tourism. In order to collect information on the legal issues of medical tourism, databases, SID and PubMed, Google Scholar were examined using the key words \"medical tourism\", \"health tourism\" and \"legal aspects\" and about 47 related articles were found, after studying the titles and abstracts of the articles found, 23 subjects which were associated with the research topic, were studied. Then the results obtained were analyzed. Ethical Considerations : Honesty and integrity were taken into consideration in searching, analyzing, and reporting the texts. Findings : According to the results of the study, medical tourism industry is growing, but there are challenges related to the legal aspects of medical tourism include the areas of access to services, medical errors, health insurances, licensing and regulatory approvals of centers, medical operations and medical technologies. Conclusion : Medical Tourism legal challenges should be taken into consideration by policy makers and trustee institutions in this industry, as according to globalization of these challenges, trying to eliminate them is necessary, which by turning threats into opportunities, facilitates the attraction process of foreign patients.
