The Right to Die
What is the responsibility
from a doctor to a patient
who is dying
and no longer wants to live?
Should he help him die?
It is very important
understand it.
In the past…
… in the first days of medicine
and medical science,
nine of the ten children would die
and only one would survive.
The world population
was very scarce.
Hippocrates designed
an oath for doctors.
He was the father of the
Western medicine, allopathy.
Mankind is him
eternally grateful
and his oath was complete
just in that time.
The function of the doctor
was always saving lives.
Life was so heavy,
and saving people
desperately needed in those days.
But times change, needs change ….
books do not change.
Still, in medical colleges
and universities,
becomes the oath of Hippocrates
taken by doctors
before they can practice.
But, that is really stupid.
