It is very clear from developments in technology and its global expansion that we cannot survive the 21st century with 20th century ethics. The developments in technology, especially those in the field of medicine have a direct and fast effect on human life expectation and survival.

In this paper, ethical principles in the application of new medical technologies in neurosurgery from an Islamic viewpoint will be given.
