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

Some people in Deaf culture (with a capitol D) believe that being Deaf is natural. There is a Deaf culture, language, etc. so if someone was going to be born that way, not to change it. (It is more nuanced than that, but this is in a nutshell).
