“Read the Hippocratic Oath some time.”

You assume I haven’t. How arrogant of you.

Really?

This is what you wrote in #142:
Mercy killings are also a human tradition.

Here is what the Hippocratic Oath (which dates from about the 4th century B.C.) says on the matter:
I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan;

So, please explain to me how it is "arrogant" to suggest to someone who is talking about the "human tradition" of "mercy" killings to read the oath that physicians have taken for thousands of years which expressly FORBIDS euthanasia?
