Also, if you utilize the other link provided by R2D2, be sure to access the actual research report, and read the findings, as well as the methodology.

I don't think you need to worry too much about telling her she will be "put to sleep." You also told her that she will "wake up" with the implant inside.

Conversely, if a 5 year old is capable of deciding whether she does or does not need sign language,(as has been claimed) she is also capable of providing input regarding an implant. Keep doing what you are doing. Stay involved, keep your child involved, and keep seeking information from those who have been there.
