I for one, will be informing others and speaking out against this technologically advanced form of ethnocide.

Page 5 of "Mother Father Deaf" (Preston) said that, in the past, there were studies on hearing children of deaf parents and that most of the "research has attempted to document objectively how having deaf parents damaged those children....". To me, it sounds like they were looking for an excuse/reason to sterilize all deaf people. Jillo, do you think the same? Better yet, is there any document of this nature exists online?
I agree that what happens in UK Parliament is dangerous and too easy to slip toward hard eugenics.
