Hello All

Hello all,

I'm Jung and I am here to learn and wish you a well journey.

I am 23/M/MI and am writing a paper for an honors course about how cultures and religions view medical life extension therapies. I would like to represent Islam.

Western medicine continues to develop therapies like healthy dieting and genetic engineering that can make people live longer. What are your views and how does Islam view intervention that extends lifespan?

Sincerely, Jung

Hi Jung and welcome to Load-Islam forums! :)

It's a pleasure to have you with us, and hopefully we'll be able to benefit from each other.

Western medicine continues to develop therapies like healthy dieting and genetic engineering that can make people live longer. What are your views and how does Islam view intervention that extends lifespan?

Muslims are encouraged to seek medical treatment and this type of 'intervention' is not really considered intervention since it is believed that God knew who would take such treatments in advance, and as such it was already part of the lifespan He decreed. Concerning genetic engineering:
