I don't think you really understand why I am for deaf people's rights. I don't like the screening the disablities out/in of fetuses either. Like somebody said once there is a new technology, somebody would find a way to abuse it. Once somebody abuse it, one can push to legalize the abuse just like the eugenic law that lasted into 80's. If the deaf people didn't bring up about wanting to screen in deaf genes, they will legalize the screening out of undesireable traits. By standing for the deaf rights, we are keeping the abuses at bay and making sure that the deaf people are treated equally.
Now about the eugenic law... I don't know about the Canadian eugenic law but the USA eugenic law is still on the book but it is being negated by other laws that was put up later on. I don't have any faith that the eugenic law won't be in use again ever. If a law can be repealed so the latter laws that negate the eugenic laws can be repealed. I would love to see the eugenic law repealed for good. I suspect that the eugenic law would be used because it was not repealed in the first place.
I believe the deaf people who didn't have children by chance, have the right to find out if they have been sterilized. What a deaf person can do if the doctor said "no way". So there are people who think that the deaf people shouldn't have children... well, I feel the same way about certain hearing people (those who are pro-oral) shouldn't have children in case the child was born deaf or became deaf. I just don't like what they have put the deaf child thru.
The way I see, I have to fight fire with fire so they can't abuse us anymore. I believe in the Golden Rule and I will leave anybody alone as long as they leave me alone. Since they want to do wrong stuff to the deaf community, I can do the same back to them.
