I just read an article that said doctors cannot be asked to participate in executions of death row inmates because the Hippocratic oath states they must "first do no harm." Is this true?

If so, let me get this straight. They can perform abortions all the way up until all but the baby's head has been delivered. The baby's only crime was being unwanted.

They can pull the plug on a woman who made no clear request to be removed from life support prior to being incapacitated. The woman's only crime was becoming incapacitated.

They can destroy human lives in the form of embryos for the wing-and-a-prayer hope that it might someday cure something. The embryo's only crime was being created in a lab.

But they can't help execute convicted rapist, murderer, etc. even after he or she has exhausted 10 years worth of appeals because they must "first do no harm?" What's wrong with this picture?

I went to the optician today and I need to get some glasses. I have some basic knowledge about ophthalmology as I'm about to be a doctor, so I know the basics about how light focuses on the eye etc etc. And I understand the basic concept of astigmatism and how the eye is shaped more lke a rugby ball than a football....

Anyway, my prescription from the optician is:

R: SPH -1.00 CYL -0.50 Axis 115
L: SPH -1.25 CYL - 0.50 Axis 90

I understand that it shows myopia in both eyes, left slightly worse than right, but what do the other numbers mean? It's something to do with the degree of astigmatism, but what do they actually show? And what does that mean in terms of my eyes?

Just interested!!!

i think i may have a severly damaged testicle as a result of some trauma. it has hurt quite badly for several days since and it appears to be swollen larger than the other. i also have seen some blood in my urine. going to the doctor is not that easy for me but maybe i need to go or is this just bruised and will hopefully go away in a few days?

Homo sepiens history is millions of years. then how come we do not have contageous desease from millions of years ago. all the harshest contageous desease heppend in couple decades. and they likely to remain in our specie's gene pool. such as HIV. how come it didnot exist from millions of years ago. if its transmitted from monkey. we ate more monkey millions years ago. it is very mysterious. since some desease like HIV will likely to stay in our specie in the future but non have stayed since millions years ago. and we did not even have medication for cure millions years ago. isnt it interesting? can new desease still happen to human all the sudden? and why does it happen? if HIV existed millions of years ago wouldnt we all be extinct? or actually medication to prolong life is bad effect to the society as whole? because its cause more people to be contaminated and not die naturally. anybody know the answer ?
