    Sanitary Worker’s Death Unnerves Pakistan’s Health Care Ethics to the Core.Syed Bilal Pasha, Tooba Fatima Qadir, Huda Fatima, Mohammed Madadin, Syed Ather Hussain & Ritesh G. Menezes - 2018 - Science and Engineering Ethics 24 (5):1611-1616.
    Health care ethics is a sensitive domain, which if ignored, can lead to patient dissatisfaction, weakened doctor–patient interaction and episodes of violence. Little importance has been paid to medical ethics within undergraduate medical education in developing countries such as Pakistan. Three doctors in Pakistan are currently facing an official police complaint and arrest charges, following the death of a sanitary worker, who fell unconscious while cleaning a drain and was allegedly refused treatment as he was covered in sewage filth. The (...)

    Consented Autopsy and the Middle-East.Magdy A. Kharoshah, Syed Ather Hussain, Mohammed Madadin & Ritesh G. Menezes - 2017 - Science and Engineering Ethics 23 (1):321-322.
    Consented autopsy is almost non-existent in the Middle-East where established social and cultural beliefs regarding the procedure might discourage family members from requesting a consented autopsy. Evidence suggests that new information is obtained from consented autopsies. It would not be in the best interest of medicine if social and cultural misconceptions succeed in erasing the existence of consented autopsies entirely.

    Personalized Medicine in a New Genomic Era: Ethical and Legal Aspects.Maria Shoaib, Mansoor Ali Merchant Rameez, Syed Ather Hussain, Mohammed Madadin & Ritesh G. Menezes - 2017 - Science and Engineering Ethics 23 (4):1207-1212.
    The genome of two completely unrelated individuals is quite similar apart from minor variations called single nucleotide polymorphisms which contribute to the uniqueness of each and every person. These single nucleotide polymorphisms are of great interest clinically as they are useful in figuring out the susceptibility of certain individuals to particular diseases and for recognizing varied responses to pharmacological interventions. This gives rise to the idea of ‘personalized medicine’ as an exciting new therapeutic science in this genomic era. Personalized medicine (...)

    Uterine Transplant: A Risk to Life or a Chance for Life?Alankrita Taneja, Siddhartha Das, Syed Ather Hussain, Mohammed Madadin, Stany Wilfred Lobo, Huda Fatima & Ritesh G. Menezes - 2019 - Science and Engineering Ethics 25 (2):635-642.
    Being inherently different from any other lifesaving organ transplant, uterine transplantation does not aim at saving lives but supporting the possibility to generate life. Unlike the kidneys or the liver, the uterus is not specifically a vital organ. Given the non-lifesaving nature of this procedure, questions have been raised about its feasibility. The ethical dilemma revolves around whether it is worth placing two lives at risk related to surgery and immunosuppression, amongst others, to enable a woman with absolute uterine factor (...)
