Due to pressure from [[abortionists]] and promoters of [[abortion]], many medical schools now drop the prohibition on [[abortion]] and [[euthanasia]] from "modernized" versions of the Oath.<ref>http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/doctors/oath_today.html</ref><ref>http://www.cmdahome.org/index.cgi?CONTEXT=art&art=313&cat=100102</ref>.

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> Indeed, Christian versions of the oath have a long history and are becoming more popular today<ref>http://www.cmdahome.org/index.cgi?CONTEXT=art&art=313&cat=100102</ref>.
