ABSTRACT
This commentary on Abu Sway’s paper and Lunstroth’s commentary is divided into three parts. In the first I outline a critique of the analytic frames that generate Lunstroth’s commentary on Islam as a religious tradition that speaks to law and ethics. Next, I will re-introduce the reader to the principal thrusts of Prof. Abu Sway’s view on Islamic perspectives on the ethics of neurogenomics. These two sections will set up the main argument of my commentary; addressing more ethical questions about neurogenomics from an Islamic perspective requires a relational analysis that brings together Islamic epistemological and ontological frameworks to work out theological doctrines.
