This is a serious thread but I found this rather amusing.

Opponents say assisted suicide violates the Hippocratic tradition of "First, do no harm" and undermines the doctor-patient relationship by turning physicians from healers into accomplices of death.

Some drs. have no problem with abortions. Where's their Hippocratic oath on that.

The medical profession has been moving away from that principle since 1973.

I understand they don’t actually TAKE the Hippocratic Oath any more.
