>in the United States, approximately 93 percent of OB-GYNs do not provide abortions, a strong indication that killing unborn babies is not life-saving health care.
powerful forces seek to coerce medical professionals to be complicit in medical killing—or abandon medicine altogether
At this point, Americans should remember that the enormity of the euthanasia movement is present in their own midst.
The assertion of human exceptionalism was aided by growth of the nascent religion Christianity, whose beliefs and values would eventually surmount pagan civilization in the West. Indeed, as Nigel Cameron points out in his history of the Hippocratic Oath, The New Medicine: Life and Death After Hippocrates, a Christian version has been discovered that began, “From the Oath according to Hippocrates in so far as a Christian may swear it.” After stating allegiance to “God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” this version includes identical precepts to the original pagan oath.
As the Roman Empire converted to Christianity, the values of the now-dominant faith dovetailed closely with the professional maxims and proscriptions of the Oath, and transformed the doctor's role. Physicians no longer routinely assisted their patients' suicides, and abortion became an underground practice.
Eugenics: The Consequence of Abandoning the Hippocratic Tradition
the doctor could well become the most dangerous person in the state
“Negative eugenics” promoted the idea that undesirable people should not be allowed to procreate at all. As often happens with radical social movements, eugenics first became popular among academics and then spread rapidly in the early years of the twentieth century among the cultural elite and the intelligentsia of the United States, Canada, England, and Germany. By 1910, “eugenics was one of the most frequently referenced topics in the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature.”8
Eugenicist societies formed for the promulgation and discussion of theories, academic eugenics journals sprouted, and philanthropic foundations (such as the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations) embraced the movement, financing eugenics research and policy initiatives. Many of the political, cultural, and artistic notables of the time supported eugenics—including Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, George Bernard Shaw, and Margaret Sanger—leading to further expansion of the movement's popular support.
If physicians can ignore the Hippocratic Oath, medicine has ceased to be a profession, and patient safety will depend on the vagaries of each doctor's personal values and beliefs.
