Hi,
Not only has the Hippocratic Oath been 'modernized', but it has been modified in many ways and in different ways. And a fair number of medical schools do not use it at all.
So, if you wish to discuss the Hippocratic Oath, at least inform yourself of the facts. As Pat Moynihan once remarked, "You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts."
If you wish to discuss the ethics of doctors following their own ethical code, then try not to be too big a bigot about it.
