The question is when the oath was taken, and which oath.

There are modern versions which dance around the whole abortion/euthenasia thing.

I have heard that it is not required also.

The classic version reads, "I will not give a woman a pessary to procure abortion." Some schools have deleted that phase, others haven't rationalizing that if a physician chooses to perform an abortion, he or she most certainly will not use a pessary to do it.

In this context, a pessary is an absorbent material inserted in the cervix to dilate it over time and cause loss of the pregnancy.

Lovely...so basically this is a free-for-all so doctors can do whatever they want when it comes to abortion/euthenasia...and it is okay
