I don't understand the deaf thing
Why would someone purpfosefully select an embryo that's definately going to be deaf? By all means leave it to chance but on purpose?
I had a deaf mate at uni and we argued about this a lot. The deaf people argueing for this right appear to think that deafness is a social thing and not a disability. How can something that negates an integral sense not be a disability?
If there was a choice to have a fully functioning child why would someone not go for that? By choosing to have a child with a disability you expose them to a load of disadvantages because unfortunately the world isn't perfect. Why do that to a child?
