>>'Those who have power to do harm, who do none.
'First do no harm' is part of the modern Hippocratic oath I think.
This is also part 'Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.' Wow, even back then (in ancient Greece) it was an issue.
>>I mean... Lots of people wouldn't even treat their dog like that.
I tried to find the source for this, but I read recently that civil rights protestors in the sixties were advised by someone not to harm the dogs sicced upon them because white people often had more sympathy with the dogs than fellow humans.
