Oh my gosh...
I stumbled upon this article when I was doing some research on deafness in babies, and I'm sure my jaw dropped to the floor. That someone could go so far as to do something like this...not only design a child, but design a child to be deaf, is appalling. Their justification? Deafness isn’t a disability or an abnormality; it’s a way of life. I’m sure this is true for those in the deaf community, but why would they think that it’s suddenly acceptable to force their particular way of life on another individual? If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the media throughout my lifetime, it’s that no one has the right to force their individual preferences on someone else. It’s called tolerance. Funny how some people like to apply that concept selectively. It’s more convenient that way.
