    Ethically Problematic Treatment Decisions: A Physician Survey.Samulii Saarni - 2008 - Bioethics 22 (2):121-129.

    Ethically problematic treatment decisions in different medical specialties.S. I. Saarni, R. Halila, P. Palmu & J. Vanska - 2008 - Journal of Medical Ethics 34 (4):262-267.
    Background: Ethical dilemmas are an integral part of medicine.

    Kant on Language, Communication and Objective Judgment.Matti Saarni - 2023 - Kant Yearbook 15 (1):135-151.

    Evidence based medicine guidelines: a solution to rationing or politics disguised as science?S. I. Saarni - 2004 - Journal of Medical Ethics 30 (2):171-175.
    “Evidence based medicine” is often seen as a scientific tool for quality improvement, even though its application requires the combination of scientific facts with value judgments and the costing of different treatments. How this is done depends on whether we approach the problem from the perspective of individual patients, doctors, or public health administrators. Evidence based medicine exerts a fundamental influence on certain key aspects of medical professionalism. Since, when clinical practice guidelines are created, costs affect the content of EBM, (...)
