Even now in modern times, the deaf people in China have to be sterlized if they want to get married.

In a way, CI is like sterlization of the deaf people. It is like forcing all the people to be the same - the hearing way. I won't be surprised if they pass the law like that. It is the hearing way. They just think the deaf people would be less of a burden if they all can hear with CI. Actually I think the deaf people would be less of burden if all hearing people learn ASL. See, if a hearing person who lost his/her hearing and can't afford CI, can survive without CI if everybody knows ASL. Simple solution.

I doubt they will let us have the full control of the Deaf Education. It is the hearing way. That is the truth whether you like it or not.
