Methods of Artificial Reproduction (book): Difference between revisions

'''Methods of Artificial Procreation''' (in Arabic: [[:fa:وسائل_الانجاب_الصناعیة_(کتاب)|وسائل الانجاب الصناعیة]]) is a book written by [[MohammadReza Sistani]] that jurisprudentially examines methods of Artificial Procreation and the jurisprudential effects and rulings related to it. In this book, the author has tried to resolve the jurisprudential challenges facing Artificial Procreation and to answer the questions raised regarding the permissibility of Artificial Procreation or its consequences through analytical reasoning (ijtihad). After examining the reasons presented to prove the Prohibition of Artificial Procreation, he writes that among the various methods of Artificial Procreation, it is only forbidden to inseminate the egg with the sperm or stem cell of a stranger ([[Unrelated individual]]) man. To prove this Prohibition, he argues based on the [[Common Religious Consciousness]] of Muslims (what promptly appears as true to Muslims based on their background of religious knowledge) . Furthermore, he argues that this prohibition pertains to the act itself and does not affect the child’s status; thus, a child conceived through any method of artificial insemination is considered legitimate. MohammadReza Sistani is the son of Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Sīstānī, and one of the prominent professors of principles of jurisprudence at the Najaf seminary. This book is one of the pioneering and important works on jurisprudential examination of Artificial Procreation, which was published in 2007 by Dār al-Muvarrikh al-Arabi publishing house in Beirut.
