No, this is a meaningless sentiment. Floating a feel-good idea like this accomplishes little in the face of how the world actually works. In the real world the hippocratic oath does not prevent malpractice, over prescription of opioids, or name your beef with the entire healthcare system let alone doctors actions. Engineers are hired to make weapons systems that kill civilians. Engineers make software that enable ubiquitous surveillance by whomever wants to use it for whatever purpose.
