This is narcissism taken to the max. Truly unbelievable! If anything they should not be allowed to reproduce at all! (Chew on THAT, social scientists!!)
What is the reaction if this case is brought up when someone finds a gay gene - and normal parents screen it out, while lesbians and gays seek to engineer it in?
It is not narcissism, it is a cloistered social culture, one that is almost rabidly liberal. My wife was enrolled in the Deaf Education Program of a well known university that operated in conjunction with a “school for the deaf” until she was able to fully understand what social dynamics were involved. When she realized that to become fully qualified to teach in this culture she would have to become immersed in it, she found the idea so repugnant that she quit the course.
“Deaf advocates” want to think they can set up and sustain a separate society where “deafness” is not considered a “handicap”. Indeed, at the time my wife was enrolled, there was some debate if a deaf person should take advantage of any medical technology to restore their hearing.
I can see where this all leads, that deaf people are to some extent cut off from everyone else and if they are able to have their own society, they are free to develop their own morality and social rules, which appeared to be exactly the case. This is so sad, for any deaf person with strong moral values will find themselves doubly isolated from the rest of humanity on a social level.
