[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snayer: [QB] You know ... I could understand this reaction if they were deliberately giving their child down syndrome, or something that completely eliminates the possibility of a successful future ... ... but being deaf doesn't do that. Deaf people are successful in every tier of society -- a friend of mine graduates GWU next year, and is planning to go to Law School in Boston. She's deaf. She's in one of the top schools in the country. Tell her she's got a disability, and she'll call you an "ignorant sack of ignorant shit" (and she's got a really cute and sweet smile on when she says it, too ... :) ) I think the people who have the strongest opinion about deafness being "wrong" are those who have had hearing, and then lose it (or imagine losing it). Not those who were born without it to begin with ... [/QB][/QUOTE]
