Lethal Injection Before Abortion

Abortion doctors need to be protected from the possibility that a fetus lives through an abortion. So, they kill the fetus first.

In order to avoid any chance of a live birth and prosecution, three major Harvard-affiliated hospitals -- Massachusetts General, Brigham and Women's, and Beth Israel Deaconess -- have made lethal injections in the womb a standard operating procedure for abortions at 20 weeks gestation or later.

The fetuses are injected with potassium chloride, also used to execute criminals, or digoxin, a heart drug.

Also, medical and nursing students can no longer view late-term abortions for fear that the horrible sight of the death of an essentially fully-formed baby would lead to a formal complaint.

Tricks and deceit are probably not directly called out in the Hippocratic Oath but I suppose clever practitioners can work them in.
