An extension lecture on ‘Evolution of Medical Ethics’ held at AMU

Aligarh April 6: An extension lecture on 'Evolution of Medical Ethics' was held at J N Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, under the aegis of Department of Forensic Medicine. Prof. T. D. Dogra, Chairman Department of Forensic Medicine and Former Director, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, while delivering the lecture traced genesis and evolution of the concept of moral principles in ethics. He said, these principles are eternal and hence existed in the life of human being. He further stated that ethics is necessary for human existence. That is the reason, man in spite of being a defenseless creature, is superior in this planet, and dominating over other species that have highly evolved senses and feeling of self-awareness. He gave several examples in this direction. Man has quality of imagination, idea and action as well as power of thinking, expression, self-propagation and self-preservation. Due to intense sense of compassion, man needs peaceful coexistence even with several conflicts of interest. He further elaborated that man born after World War II is luckiest person in this planet. Prof. Dogra explained the Ontological and Deontological theory of various stalwart philosophers such as Kant, Jeremy Benthem, W D Ross and Sartre.

Introducing the guest speaker, Prof S J Rizvi, Chairman, Department of Forensic Medicine, said that Prof. T D Dogra is a man of immense qualities. He is a guide, philosopher and a source of inspiration for many students and co-workers.

Prof. Rizvi further said that ethics took centuries to develop from tribes to well developed nations. Ethical codes are also subject to evolution. During the process these codes were affected by religious philosophy, scientific and biological revolutions. She said that Indian civilization is one of the oldest civilizations of the world and it has contributed a lot to the medical ethics as propounded by ancient religious scriptures such as Manusmriti and Vedas have descriptions of various courses related to medical ethics.

Prof Ashraf Malik, Principal and Chief Medical Superintendent, J N Medical College and Hospital, presented vote of thanks and insisted that such lectures should regularly be organized in the college. Highlighting the importance of the topic of the lecture Prof. Malik spoke at length. He said Ethics is a branch of philosophy which seeks to address questions about morality, such as how a moral outcome can be achieved in a specific situation (applied ethics), how moral values should be determined (normative ethics) and what moral values people actually abide by.

Highlighting the history of thought development on medical ethics, Prof. Ashraf Malik said that historically, Western medical ethics may be traced to guidelines on the duty of physicians such as the Hippocratic oath, in the medieval and early modern period, the field is indebted to Muslim physicians such as Ishaq Bin Ali Rahawi (who wrote the Conduct of a Physician, the first book dedicated to medical ethics) and Muhammad Ibn Zakariya ar-Razi (known as Rhazes in the West). The British Doctor Thomas Percival (1740-1804) of Manchester wrote about "medical jurisprudence" and reportedly coined the phrase "medical ethics."

Prof. Malik stressed that values such as autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, dignity, truthfulness and honesty be adopted.

The programme was conducted by Dr. Sadiya Saeed. A large number of teachers and students attended the lecture including Prof. Abu Qamar Siddiqui (Dean Faculty of Medicine), Prof Usha Singhal, Prof. Jawed Usmani, Dr. Munawwer Hussain, Prof D K Agarwal, Prof Abida Malik, Prof Haroon Subhan Khan, Prof Shahid Siddiqui, Prof R R Sukul, Prof R Sharma, Dr. Imran Ghani, Dr. Masood Siddiqui, Dr. Tamkin Rabbani and Dr Syed Ziaur Rahman.

Press Note Aligarh Muslim University

Aligarh, April 6: The Vice Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University, Prof. P. K. Abdul Azis has created a record by convening fifteen meetings of the Executive Council in a short span of 22 months after assuming charge as the Vice Chancellor. The average meetings per year were only 3 during the previous period.

Addressing the first meeting of the Executive Council on July 14, 2007 Professor Azis had assured all concerned that the statutory bodies like the Executive Council, the University Court, the Finance Committee, the Academic Council, CASR and the Board of Studies would be convened regularly and a culture of democratic participation will be established.

The AMU administration has clarified this point in the context of misleading statements seen in the press that the Executive Council meetings are not held in AMU and the Vice Chancellor is running the University in an autocratic style. The fact is contrary to this propaganda.

It is to point out that all the University bodies have been fully revived in accordance with the best democratic traditions and as per the University Act, Statutes and Ordinances. Besides overwhelming large number of EC meetings, the University has convened four meetings of the Academic Council.

Since February 2008 onwards a group of eight members of the Executive Council began to function as a pressure group, trying to disturb the functioning of the EC in the discharge of its statutory functioning. Their behaviour is against the best tradition and interests of this University.

They have prevented the discussion on the agenda items under the guise of discussions on action taken report that never used to take more than five minutes.

The special meeting of the Executive Council convened on 18.02.2009 could not be held for want of a quorum. Seeing the absence of two members that would have given the meeting the required quorum, EC members Mr. Waseem Ahmad, Professor Habibur Rahman, Dr. Hafiz Mohd. Ilyas and Mr. Jamshed Siddiqui who were available in the campus, deliberately abstained from participating in the meeting. Had they attended the meeting and presented their opinion the EC would have given due consideration to their views. By absenting themselves they have forfeited this right on their own.

These members again did not attend the adjourned meeting held on 24.02.2009, although they were present in the campus, they again abstained and willfully conducted a press conference in the University at the same time.

The Council had adopted the general law of meetings that 'members present shall form the quorum in adjourned meeting to transact the essential business listed on the agenda'. In fact the agenda listed for the special meeting held on 18.02.2009 was already listed for meetings convened on 05.07.2008 and 30.08.2008.

The University administration has always reflected its commitment to the democratic functioning of the Executive Council. The administration feels that it is the duty of every member to attend the EC meeting and participate in the decision making process in a democratic way.

It may be noted that members elected from the University Court were not regularly attending the EC meetings and two nominees of the Visitor were also not keen in attending the meetings and were absent in all the last three EC meetings convened by the University.

Art Exhibition by Hobbies Workshop organized at Kennedy Auditorium

Aligarh April 1: An Art Exhibition by Hobbies Workshop, GEC, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh was organized at Kennedy Auditorium Foyer in collaboration with the OCTA (a group of eight students from Fine Art Department, AMU). The special feature of the exhibition is installation called "EMPATHY" which concerns the patho-ontological condition of a rickshaw puller. The other works on display vary from formalistic experimentation, romantic expressionist gestures, confessional portraits, calligraphy, miniature and assemblage. Prof. A. M. K. Shahryar, noted poet and lyricist was the Chief Guest of the programme.

The show is dynamic in the sense that it touches various genres and mediums of visual art from conventional painting, assemblage, photography and installation. The Exhibition, hopefully, would encourage the students of Fine Art and inspire more visibility of such art related activities in the campus. The Exhibition comprises the paintings of Aasia Wahid, Amit Kumar, Rusnee Susaro, Shabina Parween, Afzal Ahmad, Nikhat Noor, Sabiuha Jameel and Surida A-Sae. The paintings of guest artist Ruby Khawaja, Mumtaz and Shahejahan were also found enchanting to the viewers.
