Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) I hiahia te kaitango whakaahua o Iceland a Sigga Ella ki te whakaatu he nui ake te hunga e mate ana i te mate o Down i te koretake o te chromosomal. He rerekē, he ahurei hoki rātau, pērā ki ētahi atu katoa i te ao. Ko te raupapa a Ella, "Ko ahau te mea tuatahi", e 21 nga whakaahua o nga tangata mai i te 9 marama ki te 60 tau te pakeke. I whiriwhiria e ia te tau 21 hei tohu i te chromosome 21, te wāhi o te momo ira tino noa e pā ana ki te mate. I tenei wa kei te whakaatuhia i te Whare Taonga Whakaahua o Reykjavík ka whakaatuhia i te marama o Mei i te Warsaw Festival of Art Photography. I tangohia e Ella nga whakaahua i te 2013 me te 2014 hei waahanga o te kaupapa whakamutunga i Te Kura Whakaahua i Reykjavik. Katahi ano ia ka tohatoha i nga whakaahua ki a CNN iReport. I tīmata te whakaaweawe i tētahi uiuinga irirangi i rongo a Ella i roto i ngā tāngata e matapaki ana i ngā pātai matatika i whakaarahia e ngā whakamātautau o mua i te whanautanga hei kimi i ngā hapa o te whanautanga. E tūmanako ana ia ka whiti mai ōna whakaahua ki runga i "te ātaahua me te rerekētanga o te tangata" ā, ka whakaoho i a tātou ki te whakaaro mēnā e hiahiatia ana he wā kei te heke mai kāore he rerekētanga. "E kore ahau e whakahē i te whakamātautau ā-whanau/ira mō ngā rerekētanga engari ki taku whakaaro me whakamutu tatou, me whakaaro he aha te mea e whai ake nei.... He mea tika kia whakatuwherahia te kōrerorero, kia whakaakona anō hoki te iwi mō te mate Down. Ehara i te mea he mate, he hapa rānei. Ko nga mātua o ngā tamariki e whai mate Down syndrome... e kore e whakawhiti ratou mo tetahi mea i roto i te ao. " Ko te taitara o te raupapa, "Tuatahi me te mea nui ko au", i ahu mai i tetahi tuhinga niupepa na Halldora Jonsdottir, he wahine 30-tau te pakeke e whakaatuhia ana i roto i te kaupapa a Ella. "Kei a au te mate o Down engari ko ahau te mea tuatahi, ko Halldora ahau", e tuhituhi ana a Jonsdottir. "He maha nga mea e mahia ana e au e ētahi atu. He whai tikanga, he pai hoki toku ora, nā te mea kua whiriwhiri ahau kia pai te whakaaro, kia kite i ngā mea pai i roto i te ora. E haere ana ahau ki te mahi, ki te kura, ki ngā mahi whakangahau". Ka haere tonu a Jonsdottir ki te mea, "Ko wai te mea tino tika? Ko wai ka mea, he iti ake te uara o tātau he mate pukupuku nei i te uara o ētahi atu? He rerekē tātou katoa, ā, ka tino pai mēnā he ōrite tātou katoa?" I whakatakotohia e Ella nga whakaahua i runga i te papamuri putiputi...
