San Francisco Event: Islamic Science Rediscovered

Holy Quran 24:46: “We have indeed sent down signs that make things manifest: and God guides whom He wills to a way that is straight – Laqad anzalna ayatin mubayyinatin waAllahu yahdee man yashao ila siratin mustaqeemin” I have always wondered when and why Muslims stopped searching for the ayats of Allah. I know, I know, many turn to the Holy Quran as the ultimate sign of Allah. But in focussing exclusively on the “Book” and ignoring the rest of the world – I wonder if we have truly ignored the God’s calling to seek out his signs. This depressing…

I am really torn about this very sad Schiavo affair. As we get more and more advanced in medical technologies – these questions will keep up coming.  Is there an "Islamic" reponse to this episode?  Should there be an "Isalmic" response?  What do the people say?
