      abstract = {Where should physicians get their ethics? Professional  codes such as the Hippocratic Oath claim moral authority  for those in a particular field, yet according to medical  ethicist Robert Veatch, these codes have little or nothing  to do with how members of a guild should understand  morality or make ethical decisions. While the Hippocratic  Oath continues to be cited by a wide array of professional  associations, scholars, and medical students, Veatch  contends that the pledge is such an offensive code of  ethics that it should be summarily excised from the  profession.},
