Hippocratic oath (none / 0) (#8)
by diogenes on Mon Aug 06, 2007 at 11:03:07 PM EST
The original Hippocratic oath also forbade abortion, so I guess that what doctors can do is defined by what governments allow them to do, not by oaths.
In New York, the state issues licenses; doctors can lose their licenses if brought before the Office of Professional Medical Conduct in a hearing before two physicians and one "civilian".  That office is run by the state.
This all smacks of people who oppose abortion trying to stigmatize "abortion doctors" rather than pass laws in a democratic manner.
