Topic: Abortion
Quote: \xe2\x80\x9cI was not speaking about legalities. I was speaking on the giving of an oath and what it means. What does one\'s word on something mean?\xe2\x80\x9d \nI believe it holds more of a token gesture to medicine itself. But I suppose that differs on how you plan to interpret it\xe2\x80\xa6either in a conservative or progressive standpoint. \nIn a conservative viewpoint it couldn\xe2\x80\x99t be applied to abortion.\n\xe2\x80\x9cAlso, I\'m not sure what you mean when you say the "authors...also authorized abortion." Perhaps you can clarify. Are you speaking to the modern oath?\xe2\x80\x9d\nNo, I am talking about the Hippocrates themselves.
Response: The Hippocrates? I was under the impression that Hippocrates was the name of a single person.
