Abstract
"Rooted in an old tradition of religious ethics, bioethics in the contemporary Iran has its own unique specifics. Moral teachings in this tradition have three main sources: Islamic (Shiite) teachings as the main and the most emphasized source, philosophical works, and Sufism which is Islamic in origin but somehow influenced by other schools of thought. On the other hand, newly founded institutions working on Bioethics and Medical Ethics are greatly influenced by the Western and modern ideas, thoughts and debates. Abortion, stem cell research and cloning, live unrelated kidney transplantation and research ethics have been presented as instances of hot topics of Bioethical debates in the contemporary Iran"
