Respect for personal autonomy in decision-making is one of the four ethical principles in medical circumstances. This paper aims to present evidence that can be considered good exemplars in the clarification of the ethical viewpoints of the western and Shi'i Islamic perspectives on this issue. The method followed was originally a search in international indexing services in April 2016. Our findings point towards various controversies on individuals' autonomy lead to different decision making outcomes by health workers in both different traditions. We concluded that although Shi'i Islamic jurisprudence does not seem to allow for personal autonomy in the sense it is understood in a western context, evidence indicates that Shi'i Islamic jurisprudence respects personal autonomy.
在医疗环境中，尊重个人决策自主权是四项伦理原则之一。本文旨在提供证据，这些证据可被视为在阐明西方和什叶派伊斯兰教对此问题的伦理观点方面的良好范例。所采用的方法最初是在2016年4月检索国际索引服务。我们的研究结果表明，在不同传统中，关于个人自主权的各种争议导致卫生工作者做出不同的决策结果。我们得出的结论是，虽然什叶派伊斯兰法学似乎并不像在西方语境中所理解的那样允许个人自主权，但有证据表明什叶派伊斯兰法学尊重个人自主权。
