[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] Would you try to prevent two people with poor eyesight to have a child? (prolly not on this board!) What about two congenitally blind people? Where would you draw the line? What about two criminals? What about two mentally retarded people? Two drug users? Two little people? Two fat people? Ultimately, I think the only question is whether these people are going to be able to raise their child, and whether they are going to be able to provide the special needs their child may require. There's no way to make a correct blanket descision about this. It has to be case by case. If they truly understand the issues their child will face, and are prepared to meet those needs, then who has the right to prevent them from excercise their right to reproduce? Really, who better to raise a deaf child than two women well experienced in this and immersed in hearing-impaired culture? Would I ever do it? Never. Do I think we have the right to tell people who they can reproduce with? Not even close. That smacks of a certain teutonic policy which went ended some time in the early 1940s. [/QB][/QUOTE]
