I gotta say thou, that most nondisabled folks do not understand that being born with a disabilty, isn't that horrible. You can ADAPT to physical disablitiy.
They already have abortions for those with multihandicaps and the likes. How do you know that they won't progress to aborting those with deafness in the future? I agree with you that deafness is nothing as long as I am with people who signs.
