Abstract: (9157 Views)
Among the three basic phenomena of fertility, mortality and migration, which leads to demographic changes, the present paper tries to analyze the mortality among the ideas of Avicenna, a Persian physician and philosopher(370-428 AD). The way to advance the study and achieve the desired objectives, was adopted by using documental-analytical method. The results showed that Ibn Sina's book "The Law", in addition to discussions about life and life expectancy, and addressing its causes, such as in the area of public health, the health of mothers, children and the elderly, also directs one’s attention to the phenomenon of death; is shown for example, fetal death during pregnancy, maternal death during pregnancy, and childbirth are talked about and described quite extensively, and seen as a medical specialty.
