[QUOTE=AquaBlue;942447]I guess that this the core question: Does CI technology truly (in all earnestly) bring a real danger to the Deaf community: when a few (minority) of its CI members reject the culture?

Do you realize that the answer depends on the person? I can say no, and another person will disagree with me. I don't believe it does, but there are alot of variables.
My question is this How can the Deaf Community include all person with a hearing loss without isolating anyone? And how can all persons with a hearing loss, for example, deaf, hard of hearing, hearing aid wearers or CI wearers be respectful of individuals within the community without disrespecting the core of the Deaf Culture or each other?
