Changes

Today, graduating medical students use modernized forms of the Oath, few of which contain the Classical Oath's more archaic restrictions on a physician's conduct.  Few if any medical schools could operate under the stipulation that the art be taught to those who "shall wish to learn it, without fee..."  Less than 15% of modern Hippocratic Oaths prohibit euthanasia, fewer than 10% prohibit abortion.<ref>http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/doctors/oath_today.html</ref>
