Government
should only make firm policy where there is some objective basis for their
action. Medicine has risen to the level of a near science, so unlike
in the area of education, it is possible to cognize some measure of the general
welfare in public health policy. That is not to say that doctors are not
to be held accountable for the harm they do by forcing us to be injected with
the deadly mutant viruses they call vaccines. Nor should they be immune to
the social consequence of their general willingness to murder unborn children
through abortion. With proper political control by non-physician scientist
and jurists, it is practical at this point in history to institute healthcare as
a basic human right, as long as physicians are willing to reaffirm the
Hippocratic Oath:
The
Hippocratic Oath -- Classical Version
I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panaceia and
all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfil
according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant:
To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my
life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share
of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage and
to teach them this art - if they desire to learn it - without fee and covenant;
to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to
my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have
signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but no
one else.
I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my
ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustic
e.
I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a
suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive
remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.
I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in
favor of such men as are engaged in this work.
Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining
free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual
relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves.
What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the
treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread
abroad, I will keep to myself, holding such things shameful to be spoken about.
If I fulfil this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy
life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I
transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.
