(C) Explain how people can reduce pollution

Give 4 points

• A Renewable resource is…

• For example…

Resources that can be used over and over again because

they renew themselves naturally. Renewable

resources usually produce little or no pollution.

• A non-renewable resource is…

• For example…

Resources that can only be used once. Non-Renewable

resources disappear once they are used and often cause

pollution in their use.

Solar, wind, water/wave, fertile land

There are THREE main Muslim attitudes to infertility treatments...

Muslim views on infertility…

SOME MUSLIMS...If a couple are

infertile they MUST NOT have infertility

treatments.

MOST MUSLIMS..

IVF treatment is acceptable as long as the egg and donor are

from the married couple.

SOME MUSLIMS...IVF with donors is allowed but the child does not have full legal

rights.

.

1. 2. 3.

Decide whether the following statements are 1, 2 or 3 using

your mini whiteboards.

Infertility is a disease so it is OK to find a cure.

If it is the will of Allah for the couple not to have children they should accept that.

Having children helps to keep the couple and family together.

Allah expects His creation to reproduce and start a family.

The social status and self-esteem of a woman are related to her ability to have children.

Allah has given humans the ability to create life in this way.

Children have the right to know their natural parents.

Infertility is part of a test from Allah.

Marriage is a contract between the wife and husband. There should be no third person involved.

The use of sperm or eggs from another person is regarded as ADULTERY

Shari’ah Law allows the extra embryos to be destroyed as they are not alive yet.

Egg and sperm donation is allowed but the child produced cannot inherit from their biological parents.

Donors must not be related to the parents wanting a child.

3.

What organs can be donated?

In 2007, 7234 people were on the waiting list for vital organ donations. However, in 2006 only 3000

transplants took place.

In a survey, 90% of the public were in favour of transplant surgery yet less than 50% have

registered.

One third of families refuse to give permission for organs of deceased relatives to be used, even

though the person has already signed the organ donation register.

V’S

Christianity & Transplant SurgeryMost Christians are supportive of transplant surgery

because… Christians who believe in the immortality of

the soul believe the body is not needed after death and so organs can be used to help the living.

Jesus’ teaching of ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ and

the Golden Rule are both in

keeping with the ideals of transplant

surgery

However, they would be

against selling organs as this can lead to the exploitation of the poor (e.g. A father selling a kidney to feed

his family).However, some Christians accept live transplants but not those from deceased donors because…They would see

the vital organs,

particularly the heart, as part

of God’s creation of the

individual person and so should not be

used.

Humans do not have the right to act like God and using the organs of a

dead person to give life to another is

usurping the role of God for

yourself.

Using organs from living

people does not affect the belief in the

sanctity of life and so can be used to fulfil the teachings of Jesus in the

Bible.

However, they would be

against selling organs as this

can lead to medical

assistance only available for

the rich and not for the poor.

Muslim attitudes to transplant surgery...

Use the picture clues to come up with the POINTS

IT GOES AGAINST TEACHINGS IN THE

QUR’ANThe body, including its organs, is holy and should not be

interfered with. Organ donation delays burial.

Giving away body parts is not

allowed as the body is a GIFT

from Allah.

Transplant surgery may go against

Allah’s plan.

Only Allah can give life and take life away.

The Qur’an

promotes the

saving of a life and hold

its in great

esteem.

Muslims should try to

help EVERYONE.

Allah will reward Muslims

who save people from

death.

It prevents suffering – the

necessity makes the unlawful

lawful.
