How many of you support abortion because the child have down syndrome or other mental disease? Making deaf sterilized to prevent more deaf people (when abortion was not common) is no different than abortions done today to prevent down syndromes and other disorder. Most doctors WILL suggest abortions too which is also no difference than Bell suggesting sterilization on deafs . Except today, we have better technology to determine which babies can live or die.
People always had and always will support eliminating people with some kind of disorders as possible.. no matter how they do it.

People would sterilized those that they consider to be a burdensome. Won't you object if I said that the hearing people ought to be sterilized because they are burdensome to the deaf people? Too many of hearing parents don't know ASL thus too many deaf people get behind in their education. Many managers won't hire deaf people so the deaf people end up on SSI/SSDI. If the manager do hire a deaf person then the manager could keep the deaf person in low salary bracket and might not consider promotion for that deaf person eventhough if the deaf person is good worker. Rainshower, you don't mind this at all?
