The Hippocratic Oath includes a promise to "abstain from all intentional wrongdoing and harm" and to "prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone." This includes refraining from prescribing deadly drugs when asked for them, as deliberately ending a patient's life goes against the physician's duty to heal and do no harm.
