did not learn sign language.
This is a political issue among the deaf. They are very much against implants. Two deaf lesbians wanted a deaf baby.
That's just sick.
I've read that at least some deaf people say that,if given the chance,they would reject treatment that might give them (or restore to them) the ability to hear.
This,IMO,can only mean that they've become accustomed to being seen as victims and that they somehow approve of that status.
Sick,sick,sick...IMO.
This is not about implants. There are students at Gally with implants and there are more and more deaf children getting them, who have been raised using ASL - like my daughter. Times are changing and they are becoming more accepted.
