I actually find that extremely dumb. The MP who is pushing for this, prolly has NO plm whatsoever with yuppie moms and dads creating their very own high IQ, totally designer baby.
Deafness is pretty much BENIGN. It's not like something like Huntington's Disease or mild autism, or depression or other mental issues.
I wish people would realize that physical disabilty is something you can adapt to and live rich full lives. Sure, the kids won't be able to hear..............but so what?

I suspect if you "follow the money" you'll find the motivation behind all of this.
If you reduce the Deaf population, you reduce the need for special schooling, captions, interpreters, etc. It's all about the money, you can be sure.
