Disabled girls medication changed because it could "affect the baby"

To quote the hippocratic oath, “I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.

Let me put it this way; if a doctor knowingly kills a man when it wasn’t necessary, the doctor is arrested and sentenced to death depending on where he is practicing medicine. If he doesn’t die, he goes to jail and loses his medical license. Does this make sense? If a doctor gives a young girl who is too young to have kids a medication that makes her worse just because the patient in question might have kids (despite several signs that it may as well never happen), this would,worst case scenario, cause her to die. If that is the case, the doctor who does this should be punished the same way the doctor who kills unnecessarily should, right? RIGHT?! I know nothing about medicine don’t listen to me my only knowledge of medicine is playing Overwatch as the character Mercy.... but even I know that doing that for the sake of “tHe cHilDrEn” should NOT be okay by ANY SOCIETY!
