Does anybody know if this is still part of the Physicians Hippocratic
Oath?

"...The regimen I adopt shall be for the benefit of my patients
according to my ability and judgment, and not for their hurt or for any
wrong.  I will give no deadly drug to any, though it be asked of me,
nor will I counsel such, and especially I will not aid a woman to
procure abortion.  Whatsoever house I enter, there will I go for the
benifit of the sick, refraining from all wrongdoing or corruption,
and especially from any act of seduction, olf male or female, of
bond or free.  Whatsover things I see or hear concerning the life
of men, in my attendance on the sick or even apart therefrom, which
ought not to be noised abroad, I will keep silence theron, counting
such things to be as sacred secrets."

Or was part of this possibly dumped after the Supreme Court ruling
on the abortion issue in 1973?  My apologies if this has previously
been discussed on the net.
