1. “… the consequences to women’s health should be at the centre of any discussion on new reproductive technologies…” (Manual Part IV New Reproductive Technologies). What evidence is there to suggest that this is not the case?

Also, participants would appreciate having assistance from First Nation doulas during the labour as participants thought they knew the process better (O’Driscoll 129).

Participants thought that elders are more experienced, they know lots about the process and the social community (O’Driscoll 129). Significant things can be taught to the participants (O’Driscoll 129). Also, older people tend to believe in their heritage strongly (O’Driscoll 129). On developing the tele-visitation communication platform, the votes were almost half and half (O’Driscoll 129).
