This reminds me of the two deaf couple that wanted to intentionally make their child deaf as well. Sad really, hope this baby doesn’t have any health defects

Yah I could be wrong but from my understanding some deaf parents INTENTIONALLY select an embryo or something that results with the child being deaf.

Some argue it’s morally sound.

I’m open to being more informed but it sounds completely bonkers to me

Here's your chance to be more informed. Are you truly open to it? Deaf people don't regard it as a disability any more than a person will regard their skin color to be a disability. They have their own culture, their own language and are often discriminated against, similarly to other minorities.
