I was under the impression that physicians no longer took the Hippocratic Oath. After all, they would have to swear to not do abortions. I bet they stopped doing it in the 1960s. (Can anyone confirm?)

I thought that the Hippocratic Oath was "modernized" in the 1960s to allow physicians to embrace the culture of death. I was under the impression that nearly all physicians still took the oath in some form.

Hopefully some of the others I've pinged can clarify this.
