פונדקאות לזרעו של חייל שנפטר
אני מכינה עבודת מחקר בביולוגיה ויש לי את הדילמה הבאה: טוראי עידו ז"ל חלה במחלת הסרטן בהיותו חייל בצה"ל ושוחרר עקב כך והמשיך להילחם במחלה.

Hi I am an Orthodox Jew and a 3rd year med student in the Technion American Medical Students Program. Yesterday was the first time I was helping with a C-section and I guess I was very focused on the mechanical part of the procedure, so when the Dr informed me that I they were also performing a tubal ligation, I mechanically performed the procedure-(the woman was not Jewish).
So, my question is, was what I did against halacha? Also, is assisting in a D&C procedure (on a non-Jewish woman) also against halacha? I really do not want to do the wrong thing.
Thanks.

One should not be involved in any procedure causing sterility in Jew or non-Jew, male or female, Except for cases where the procedure is necessary for preventing mortal danger.
A D&C procedure not involving an abortion is OK

Regarding Abortions, see Nishmat Avraham, (English edition, Artscroll Mesorah, New York) Vol III -Choshen Mishpat, Chapter 19, pp. 278-302.
See p. 278 regarding the prohibition, and p. 284 concerning the case of danger to the mother's life.
