Ethical hazards of modern, advanced medical technology in promoting euthanasia: a resolution from Islamic perspective by Malik, Mohammad Manzoor

“…Proponents of active euthanasia argue that in cases where the modern, advanced medical technology has prolonged death of many miserable terminally ill patients, active euthanasia can put end to their suffering; hence active euthanasia should be permissible. Against this line of thought, the researcher argues that much of the suffering which terminally ill patients go through occurs because of the misapplication of the advanced medical technology. …”

Social workers' experience of work under changing administrative forms: an empirical and theoretical critique of Braverman by Davies, Linda

“…Although social workers may wish to reduce the uncertainty surrounding child abuse practice, and despite management's desire to limit practitioner discretion, there remains an inevitable core of uncertainty in the nature of the work which generates the requirement for judgment on the part of the front-line worker. Braverman's approach proved too deterministic to cope with these questions. …”
