- Abstract
The article informs that practice of induced abortion has engaged the minds of physicians, scholars, philosophers, politicians, theologians and the public for over two thousand years. The Hippocratic Oath is a widely recognized document that has been used as a normative Hippocratic ethic for prohibiting abortion. However, the history of the Oath's relevance in the modern abortion controversy is complex due to differences in translations, cultural and religious influences.
