After hearing the presentation on deaf by design, I cannot help thinking about the ethical issues brought up by the new generation in the deaf families. I can truly understand that why the deaf people are so eager to find a spouse and give birth to deaf children, in which they can find likeliness of each other. However I am strongly against them to abore fetus without listening disabilities, it is just that they are different from their family members do not mean they do not have the right to live. In addition, they are the ones who are regarded as normal by the general public. On the other hand, I really feel enraged when the parents actually persuade their child not to have cochlear implant and knock down their child’s confidence. If it is the will of the child to have the opportunity to listen to the wonderful voices in the world, why don’t give her a chance of the parents are able to do so. The child should have the right to choose the pathway of her own future.
