: Question - The Hippocratic Oath has been used for centuries by physicians and some portions of it adopted by other health care professions. How has it changed over the years?
I think that the oaths have changed more in the physicians own moral values. ie abortion, euthanasia, sex with patients. Everyone has their own feelings about these sensitive issues and sometimes I think the morals have changed and the oaths have changed to accomidate this.
