Background and Objectives: Biotechnology has wide applications in various fields of medicine, industry, agriculture and environment and as a high technology will play an important role in the future of the world. Transgenic animals due to causing theoretically and practically problems are ethical concerns. Species identity of this type of animals is morally confusion. Since transgenic animals must endure the transfer of a specific gene in their genome, the severe consequences may be achieved from this insertion. Unlike animals have undergone horizontal gene transfer during evolution, transgenic animals are not protected by evolutionary processes of gene loss and gain. Therefore, the protection of animals and consumers rights should be considered if the use of this technology will be continued. Produced transgenic animals as clinical models are designed so that they show as much as possible all of the relevant features and symptoms of disease. Scientific debate is whether humans are allowed to manipulate genetic characteristics only for achieving their goals. As the above contents indicate special rules and supervision should be established to prevent any deviation and unethical use of biotechnology. In Islam, researchers have different opinions about using transgenic organisms. The use of genetically modified crops and consequently research and development of technologies related to them are permitted in Shia religion but this permission is subject to observe various aspects of the safety and ethics need to be provided. In the present study, we investigated the application of transgenic animals, the view of Islam(Shia) to transgenic organisms and genetically modified crops, as well as the need to comply with ethical issues in researches and experiments on animals within the framework of internationally accepted rules and Islamic regulations.

Hence, we have studied the comments of Muslim and non-Muslim scientists  to link science and ethics and have evaluated the importance of attention to ethics in universities around the world. And in the end we concluded Iranian universities, In addition to the rules of conduct, have paid special attention to the moral content of academic courses and also human factor for transferring of these concepts to students, and ultimately achieve a higher level of moral health
