'I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly, I will not give a woman an abortive remedy.' The Hippocratic Oath. (As translated by Ludwig Edelstein)
These words, penned approximately four centuries before Christ, still hold immense relevance today. Their writer was Hippocrates, a philosopher and physician of Ancient Greece who is often considered to be 'the father of medicine'. Hippocrates' 'Oath' encapsulated the idea prevalent in Greek philosophy that suicide was a social evil akin to killing another person, but for the first time placed it in a code of practice for doctors.
Medical students in many western countries are still required to take the above 'Hippocratic oath'. The anti-abortion clause, however, at least in Australia, has been conveniently (and tragically) removed, a reflection of the secularization of our evolutionized culture.'
