At least he did'nt ask someone else to do his dirty work

Physician Assisted Suicide is an Abomination

Διαιτήμασί τε χρήσομαι ἐπ' ὠφελείῃ καμνόντων κατὰ δύναμιν καὶ κρίσιν ἐμὴν, ἐπὶ δηλήσει δὲ καὶ ἀδικίῃ εἴρξειν. Οὐ δώσω δὲ οὐδὲ φάρμακον οὐδενὶ αἰτηθεὶς θανάσιμον, οὐδὲ ὑφηγήσομαι ξυμβουλίην τοιήνδε. Ὁμοίως δὲ οὐδὲ γυναικὶ πεσσὸν φθόριον δώσω. Ἁγνῶς δὲ καὶ ὁσίως διατηρήσω βίον τὸν ἐμὸν καὶ τέχνην τὴν ἐμήν. Οὐ τεμέω δὲ οὐδὲ μὴν λιθιῶντας, ἐκχωρήσω δὲ ἐργάτῃσιν ἀνδράσι πρήξιος τῆσδε.

Or in English...

I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment
and never do harm to anyone.
I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked,
nor will I advise such a plan;
and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.
But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts

I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked,
The problem with this clause is that almost all drugs are lethal given sufficient doses.

I saw a copy of this on the wall of a physician I used to go to.

It read...”And similarly I will not give a woman an illegal operation.” End of quote.
