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.

A D&C procedure not involving an abortion is OK
