Aesthetic Plast Surg. 2008 Jan;32(1):1-10 Authors: Atiyeh BS, Kadry M, Hayek SN, Musharafieh RS BACKGROUND: Plastic surgeons are called upon to perform aesthetic surgery on patients of every gender, race, lifestyle, and religion. Currently, it may seem natural that cosmetic surgery should be perceived as permissible, and in our modern liberal age, it seems strange to attempt justifying certain surgical acts in the light of a particular cultural or religious tradition. Yet every day, cruel realities demonstrate that although the foremost intention of any scripture or tradition has been mainly to promote religious and moral values, most religions, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, invariably affect human behavior and attitude deeply, dictating some rigid positions regarding critical health issues. METHODS: A Web search was conducted, and the literature was reviewed using the Medline search tool. RESULTS: Islamic Law closely regulates and governs the life of every Muslim. Bioethical deliberation is inseparable from the religion itself, which emphasizes continuities between body and mind, between material and spiritual realms, and between ethics and jurisprudence. CONCLUSIONS: The rule in Islam is that individuals should be satisfied with the way Allah has created them. Islam welcomes, however, the practice of plastic surgery as long as it is done for the be ...

Blackwater Worldwide CEO Erik Prince, President Gary Jackson, and spokesperson Anne Tyrrell traveled from the company's compound in Moyock, N.C. yesterday to the state capital, where they met with editorial board members, editors and reporters at the Raleigh News & Observer to challenge what they consider to be unfair media treatment, the paper reports . The visit was part of a public-relations campaign the private security contractor launched last fall after Blackwater employees guarding a State Department convoy in Baghdad were involved in the shooting deaths of 17 civilians. That incident remains under federal investigation and is also the target of a lawsuit . Also on the agenda was Blackwater's recent request that a U.S. federal court apply Islamic Shari'a Law to a lawsuit brought by the widows of three U.S. soldiers who died in a crash of one of the company's planes in Afghanistan four years ago. Blackwater subsidiary Presidential Airways of Florida initially argued that the lawsuit should be dismissed since the company was acting as a government agent and soldiers can't sue the government, but the courts rejected that argument. Now it argues the suit should be dismissed because Shari'a Law -- not U.S. Law -- applies. Here's my transcript of N&O Executive Editor John Drescher questioning Prince and Tyrrell about the Shari'a request. You can follow along with the audio recording online here , where there are also other audio ...
