“I [will not] administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course.”—Hippocratic Oath
You will see that the Hippocratic Oath forbids euthanasia, also known as “doctor assisted suicide.”
What a pity it is that the Hippocratic Oath is no longer compulsory for doctors, Dr. Vernon Coleman says.
In the UK, while there is no legal requirement for doctors to take the Hippocratic Oath, many medical schools still use it or a modern variation during graduation ceremonies. The General Medical Council (“GMC”) does not require doctors to take an oath but does require them to adhere to the principles outlined in its “Good Medical Practice” document.
Many foundations of modern Western medicine lie in Classical Greece and the Hippocratic Oath is no exception. Written over 2,400 years ago, the Oath is attributed to the Greek physician Hippocrates. In 1964, Dr. Louis Lasagna, the Academic Dean of the School of Medicine at Tufts University, wrote a revised version of the original Hippocratic Oath known as the Lasagna Oath or the Modern Hippocratic Oath.
In the UK, medical schools do not all use the same oath. Some use the original Lasagna Oath, some their own variant based on the Lasagna version, some use the Declaration of Geneva and some a statement based on the GMC code of good medical practice
In the following, Dr. Vernon Coleman provides the relevant words of the Hippocratic Oath.
You can read the text of the Hippocratic Oath (c. 400 BC) translated from Greek by Francis Adams (1849) HERE. And a brief guide to it published by the BBC in 2008 HERE.

When I qualified as a doctor I was invited to take the Hippocratic Oath. It was optional. Some young doctors said they would. Many said they wouldn’t. I happily took the Oath. Today, the Hippocratic Oath is considered out of date by the medical establishment and the General Medical Council in the UK (the body with the job of licensing doctors).
Here, so that you can make up your own mind, are the principle and relevant sections of the Hippocratic Oath:
I swear that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgement, this oath.
I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgement, and I will do no harm or injustice to them. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. But I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even, verity on sufferers from stone, but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein.
Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession I will never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets.
Now if I carry out this oath and break it not, may I gain for ever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I break it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me.
You will see that the Hippocratic Oath forbids euthanasia/doctor assisted suicide. What a pity it is that the Hippocratic Oath is no longer compulsory for doctors. I wonder what it is about the Oath which the medical establishment finds unacceptable.

Its a pity they don’t link that Hippocratic oath with the toxic trash administered to patients?
[…] Go to Source Follow altnews.org on Telegram […]
How can a doctor kill a patient? They do it all the time in hospitals, it was wholesale murder during the covid lockdowns No one who didn’t go to hospital died of covid.
We all know why they don’t have to adhere to the oath now don’t we? I’ll keep saying it too-there is no such thing as assisted suicide. The definition of suicide is that you kill yourself. If somebody else does it IT IS NO LONGER SUICIDE-THAT FOLKS IS CALLED MURDER.
The problem is the people at the FDA, CDC, ABIM, ACIP and HHS and DOD who are running this Plandemic do not adhere to the Hypocritic oath, they adhere to the WEF oath of allegiance, their master is different and they obey his original oath, because he is an avowed enemy of mankind and so they are also, because that is who they follow..They use his methods of coming in peace to help, its the easiest way to do EVIL, and they have figured unhealth through bad food and bioweapons by fake diseases is the best way to kill and make money.. Wars take to long and do not murder the whole globe..
Hi Bill,
Wonder if zoologists are included.

The Chinese version of the beautiful hippocratic oath is cold and the loyalty pledged is to the state not explicitly to the patient.
In the original hypocratic oath. They swear an oath to foreign gods. And to the establishment otherwise be cast out if they don’t follow the ROTHCHILD RULES OF MEDICINE. PHARMAKA!!! Look it up and know what demonic following was required to become a so called “doctor”
“Spell” check Hippocratic.
Whenever a promise is broken a lie takes its place and this is all part of a downward spiral with lies galore and in every area! Honour has taken a back seat and hence dishonour has taken its place by the vagaries of men and women! In the last 65 years a complete reversal of all that was sound and good has become a slippery slope that has gathered momentum commencing like Eve in the Garden of Eden of women agitating and behaving badly with the burning of their Bras, and you really would wonder at that ludicrous behaviour! Women’s Lib, when they were already liberated by the death of Elizabeth Pankhurst over 100 years ago till the other ludicrous behaviour of The “ME TOO” crowd marching with the Hollywood crowd of radicals and everything in between going to the dogs! Need any of us wonder at the World degraded of today!
