Firstly, there is a research agency which initiates the study, clearly driven by its concern for reproductive rights. The medical practitioners represent the other stakeholders. Access to them has been obtained through peers who are directly involved in the reproductive rights movement. Thus, in this case, it is clear that a subgroup of medical practitioners who are concerned with the advocacy of reproductive rights has been included in the study. In classical terms, they do not constitute a vulnerable population as they are fairly well organised, highly educated and socially respected. They can be expected to have a high level of autonomy and control over the research process"engCreative Commons Copyright (CC 2.5)research processreproductive rightsvulnerable populationautonomyPolitical ethicsBioethicsSocial ethicsSexual orientation/genderCommunity ethicsArticle
