Very True, I've seen that lately!...

Tousi said:Hmmmm, Cheri....didn't you just judge a parental decision for THEIR child? LOL!
LUNZ said:(Jesus "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged"
illustrator said:hmm.. what about the parents. Do they ever judge on their own son/daughter?
I wasn't sure they judge us or not. :|
Tousi said:Cheri, yes, I understand what you are saying because too many other people hold that same view but I respectfully disagree; children are not mature enough to make major decisions. That's what parents are for and it is their right, right or wrong. They do what they think is the best for their child in all things. Specific to the CI, it is widely known that language development occurs best at a young age when their brain is plastic; the younger the better for that development. Sure, there are failures; I believe I read the failure rate is less than 1%. Some others count the implantees who do not work hard & persevere at learning how to hear/talk, going for mapping, taking advantage of strategies to get the most out of this training and count them as failures which skews the % rate. So the theory is: the younger, the better, not later in life where the failure rate is higher I'm sure. This is putting it simply for me cuz we can talk till the cows come home! Again, it is not only the parents' right but it is their obligation to raise their child to the very best of their abilities. They should not be scorned and ridiculed. I am sure you wouldn't want other people or, heaven forbid, the government to tell you, as a mother, how to raise your child, would you? I think not.....

Cheri said:Hum. Supposedly, A Parent have a deaf child and A Parent says. I should get my child CI cuz I want my child to hear and be able to use her or his voice to communicate with the hearing world. how dumb is that? U can still use ur voice to communicate while u are deaf. Don't u think that A Parent taking control of a child life by changing who they are into someone different like CI. that like discriminated against the deaf. I think its the Child Choice as they reach the age of teen life to make a choice if they want to stay deaf or change who they are by getting CI. and Government don't tell us how to raise our children cuz they are not the one that raise my child. example I have two hearing children if i want my hearing children to become deaf its like making them deaf cuz u want them to be deaf.. same thing with a deaf child u want them to hear so u get them Ci.. see my point of view?
God is all loving, never judgmental because Life on Earth is for our learning, to overcome the old, control-oriented concepts of guilt, sin and fear. Mother and Father God love us, we are given many opportunities to liveDreamDeaf said:I believe that only God can judge people - not us mere mortals.
I have been judged here on earth - and my rep was ruined and now I am on the process of disenganging myself from those people who judged me and found me guilty without allowing me to prove my innocence. I have already left many people behind me and will not be renewing my membership at the club that decided to judge me without proper due process...and I feel better for having done so, and know that I have many good friends that still believe in me. It did hurt at that time, and I knew I could'nt stay with those people anymore.
Thank goodness for my friends who helped me through that difficult time, and I still thank my Higher Power for having them, and that they continue to work with me on proving that I'm innocent of all charges, and remain close friends with me period.
So, if you want to judge - remember we're innocent until proven guilty. Be careful, for you may be hurting someone you love or who can do a lot for you.
Also, if you decide to do it anyway, you may be ruining their hard-earned reputation for good. So be certain of your beliefs before you do anything.

I know how you feel. It happened to me here in AllDeaf. Something happened last year and just to clear things up, I took the blame. To this day, I'm considered an "enemy" for this action. Very few know the truth... but it still isn't enough considering how everyone else hates me for this action when they don't know the whole story.DreamDeaf said:I believe that only God can judge people - not us mere mortals.
