Summary
There are varying perspectives within Islam on bodily enhancement and modifications. Still, it is perhaps possible for bioethicists and scholars of Islam to agree that categorical prohibitions on bodily modifications may not work. The way to ethically address this issue is to ensure that good policies and governance are put in place to monitor the safety of the application of such innovations on the human body. The stark reality is that humanity in the early 21st century is poised to change at unprecedented speed with the advent of technological innovations, especially nanotechnology.
