Many believe that the foundations of a dehumanizing belief system are being laid. The Malthusian belief in the myth of overpopulation
along with the growing belief that the pseudo-science of eugenics is valid is laying the justification for a human genocide
that would make Nazi Germany look tame. We can learn from history! The following books are recommended reading:
T4 Medical Killing Program
Without the Hippocratic Oath.....
Without the promise and commitment to "do no harm"...
The physician becomes just a bio-technician to be manipulated by social trends, politics and the state.
The physician becomes a sophisticated "witch doctor"..
Then we are all in trouble.

HIPPOCRATIC OATH
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 to 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 injustice.
I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if 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.
"SADLY MANY MEDICAL SCHOOLS HAVE ALTERED OR DELETED THIS OATH...LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR RETURNING TO PRE-HIPPOCRATIC
MEDICINE....THE ALLOWING OF MEDICAL KILLING."
