Item An examination of the legal and religious dimensions to separation in marriage(2021-10) Oke, O. P.Separation in marriage has become a burning issue that has generated a lot of debates in Nigeria today as it affects many homes and the society at large. Scholars in Order to deal with the problem have approached the subject matter from the cultural, psychological, and sociological perspectives. 13ut, an area where little or no attention has been paid over the years which necessitated this study is the religious and legal dimensions to the discourse. That is, a religious and legal look at what constitutes Separation in marriage and how the menace can be brought to the barest minimum. The method adopted in the study is the use of materials that are relevant to Separation and divorce. Recommendation will be made on how to address the issues involved in Separation and how separated couples can live a better life thereby enhancing peace and harmonious relationship in the society.Item Right to live and right to die: a religious and legal look at euthanasia(College of Humanities, Management and Social Sciences, Mountain Top University, MFM-Prayer City, Ogun State, 2018-12) Oke, O. P.Over the years, the debates on the right to live and right to die (euthanasia) have evoked avalanche of human sentiments from scholars. Previous studies so far carried out have focused mainly on the medical, moral and psychological perspectives with little attention paid to the religio-legal dimension in the entire discourse. This is the gap in scholarship that this work intends to fill. That is, a consideration of the camps of irreconcilable proponents and opponents of euthanasia in the Contemporary society from the religious and legal angles. The study employs qualitative method in carrying out this research. The paper finds out, among other things, that the rate of euthanasia can be brought to the barest minimum if both religious leaders and the judiciary take the bull by the horns in addressing the various issues that make euthanasia to become rampant in the society. This paper therefore examines the meaning of euthanasia, the argument for and against and the Position of the three major religions in Nigeria and the law in the discourse. Recommendations are also offered on how to treat terminally sick person in the society.Item Unraveling the ethical, legal, and social implications of neurobiobanking and stroke genomic research in Africa: a studyprotocol of the African neurobiobankfor precision stroke medicine ELSI project(Sage Publications, 2020) Akinyemi, R. O.; Jenkins, C.; Nichols, M.; Singh, A.; Wahab, K.; Akpalu, A.; Sarfo, F. S.; Owolabi, L. F.; Obiako, R.; Akinyemi, J.; Ojebuyi, B.; Adigun, M.; Musbahu, R.; Bello, A.; Titiloye, M.; Calys-Tagoe, B.; Ogunronbi, M.; Uvere, E.; Laryea, R.; Fakunle, A.; Adeleye, O.; Olorunsogbon, O.; Ojo, A.; Adesina, D.; Mensah, N.; Oguike, W.; Coleman, N.; Mande, A.; Uthman, M.; Kalaria, R. N.; Jegede, A.; Owolabi, M.; Ovbiagele, B.; Arulogun, O.The ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of emerging neurobiobanks and data resources are unclear in an African scientific landscape with unique cultural, linguistic, and belief systems. The overarching goal of the African Neurobiobank for Precision Stroke Medicine–—ELSI Project is to identify, examine, and develop novel approaches to address ELSI issues of biobanking and stroke genomic research in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). To accomplish the goal we will (1) explore knowledge, attitude, perceptions, barriers, and facilitators influencing ELSI issues related to biobanking and stroke genomic research; (2) use information obtained to craft a community intervention program focused on ELSI issues; and (3) build capacity and careers related to genomics and biobanking for effective client/community engagement while enhancing regulatory, governance, and implementation competences in biobanking science in SSA. A community-based participatory research and mixed-methodological approach, focused on various levels of the social ecological model, will be used to identify and examine relevant ELSI issues. Contextual intervention tools, platforms, and practices will be developed to enhance community understanding and participation in stroke biobanking and genomics research activities while facilitating enduring trust, and equitable and fair utilization of biobanking resources for genetic and trans-omics research. A concurrent capacity building program related to genetic counseling and biobanking will be implemented for early career researchers. The huge potential for neurobiobanking and genomics research in Africa to advance precision medicine applicable to stroke and other neurological disorders requires addressing ELSI challenges while building sustainable research, career, and regulatory capacities in trans-omics and biobanking science.
