Deaf babies are not the curse. That is why we are trying to spread to hearing people and deaf adults to let them know that having the cochlear implants on deaf babies is a no. The babies are beautiful and just be the way they are with their wonderful personalies. The deaf babies have rights, too, like we have with Deaf Culture and our Deafness. At the last of the video John was crying that there is no way to stop hearing people and hearing doctors from going into cochlear implant surgery. We are crying to make them stop this madness of getting our deaf babies hearing. :sad:
You are absolutely right. John's tears at the end affected me, because I understood what he was tellin' about. Very touchin'. Deaf babies need LOVE, not cochlear implants on their heads. Love means to accept the deaf babies, no matter what the costs are. I believe that bein' deaf is priceless than hearin'.
