[QUOTE]Originally posted by BlueElectron: [QB] [QUOTE]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? [/QUOTE]There is a difference here, the parent [i]choose[/i] to geneticlly impaired the child. [QUOTE] If you can hear and go to China (assuming of course you are english speaking primarily), and you talk to a chinese person...they can hear you - but they do not understand you .. How is this different? [/QUOTE]Again, there's a different, like I said before, the accepted form of communication is decided by the vast majority of the population in a area, hence in China, people speak Chinese, in North American, people speak English. However, I have yet to seen a country or region to have its main form of communication in sign language or anything similar. Plus, normal people have the option of learning a new "spoken" language with relatively short time, can we say the same for deaf people? [QUOTE] Beethoven was deaf -- look what he accomplished!![/QUOTE]Man, what the hell were you thinking! He wasn't deaf to begin with! You think Beethoven could've been as great as he was in his time if he was born deaf? [/QB][/QUOTE]
