Hippocratic Oath Pros And Cons

The original hippocratic oath displays good morals however some of the viewpoints are outdated and should be revised or reconsidered. The oath states “ I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy” This should be removed because abortion is about allowing women to make the choice on when they are ready to have children, and doctors shouldn’t be aloud to deny them that choice. Another statement that should be edited is “I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect.” I believe that doctors should be allowed to prescribe and administer life-ending drugs to patients who are terminally ill and show no chance of improving their condition.
