[QUOTE]Originally posted by BlueElectron: [QB] Man, why are we still arguing about the differences between "deaf couple having a kid" and "normal couple trying to have a deaf kid"? IF a deaf couple decided to have a kid, they're doing so because [i]THEY WANT A KID! [/i] Whether or not the kid will turn out to be deaf is secondary to their desire of having this kid. Beside, how often does a deaf couple decided to have a kid WITHOUT consulting a family planning clinic knowing that there's a big chance the genetic defects would carry on to the next generation. The "normal" couple we're saying here is totally different, they're having a kid to [i]PROVE THEIR POINT![/i] In their case, the point is pretty sadistic! We have pointed out again and again, "having a kid for the desire of raising a family" is different then "prove that deaf is cool by having a deaf kid"! [b]Arguing deafness is good for a child's quality of life is one thing. But to put the child's future on the test just to prove their theory is just disgusting![/b] They even announce their intentions to the public media, which sounds like they're using the kid as a "lab rat" to prove their twisted social theory! And how does the "prestige university case" even have anything to do with what we're trying to prove here? We're not denying the fact that deaf(or disable people) people can achieve great, or astonishing tasks or goals, we're proving that by genetically engineering a kid to be deaf, we'd be robbing away a precious ability from the kid. And Jeff, if you ask your friend whether or not she would like her hearing back, would she say no? Further more, does your friend thought of the deafness as a "bless" or a "curse"? [/QB][/QUOTE]
