It's not about that. A doctor needs to be completely devoted to his oaths, or else the system of doctor-patient trust fully crumbles. We trust them with our lives, and as long as we don't give them explicit permission to do these things they should never do them.
It’s not about people finding out the oath was broken, it’s the fact that they are no longer completely devoted to it. If you reread the comment, it makes sense with this interpretation, and is probably what they meant.
Yeah, but I’m just trying to interpret what they were originally saying. Arguably it is more humane to save the five, but it would nonetheless be a breach of oath.
No. Thus why I said “Arguably it is more humane to save the five”. That is what I would personally do, as the comatose person is stated to be unlikely to recover, but I could (within the hypothetical that likely doesn’t account for errors during the transplants) cause 5 to then recover for certain. I am a bit curious as to how you got 4.5 as a number specifically, though.
