Ah, I was thinking they might include synthetic bone, too. I hope not! I think there should be certain regulations on who needs it, most definitely. ..by the way, how do you sign "Face transplant"?!

What was your child's first sign? :) How old were they? My daughter's first clear undeniable sign (which was clear enough not to look like we were reading into hand movements too much) was the BSL sign for "food". She was about 6 months old. She only recently started signing "love" 18...

As long as the adoptive parents teach the kid some form of sign (or at the very least, cued speech. I don't think lipreading is very helpful since it's so tiring and a lot of guess work) so that they have some way of communicating more than 'food', 'drink', etc with them, why not? It's when the...

As a HOHer who once had perfect hearing...you aren't missing out on much. :)

For those who've had terrible accidents and have been left disfigured, sure it's fine, and an amazing thing for them. :) But there's the chances it could go into the wrong hands, criminals, even terrorists would seize this opportunity to make their most wanted look like someone else, as...

Naturally everyone who signs at gets stared at when they're signing, a lot. But, how many of you get stared at to the point where you start to feel uncomfortable? When I go for to the DeafClub (it's in a pub) on a weekday evening, we get a lot of stares. Sometimes the people stare for a...

That's awesome!!!! :O

Very few can do that, though many may aspire to. For me, all I can do is try my best to, and I will continue trying until I am doing, and then I will do. :)

It's very possible, I think. There was some big debate about some pedophile some time back who the media wanted to be chemically castrated, so it's just a matter of implementing it, I guess.

Hmm, what about chemical castration?

Hmm, you're right. It is a safety issue, but because I have not had my hearing checked by the NHS (I had mine checked privately because I've been waiting on the NHS list for so long, they basically refuse to see me because 'young people don't lose hearing' so they keep fobbing me off), I'm not...

Oh. :D I realize you meant the same as shel. My apologies. :)

Haha, it sounds good to me. :) I learned Japanese fingerspelling from websites about Japanese Sign Language, especially Žè˜b‹³Žº and - I know a few signs from here, but not many! For the fingerspelling, I used yubimoji and Youtube to look at. I used some other websites, to learn how to sign...

Of course I will, I'm British. ;)

Hmm. I'll try that with her. She is very, very intelligent. She sees something once, and she can do it, but she doesn't seem to listen. :D I'll try, but I don't have any beeping things in the house, I don't think.

I respectfully disagree. She's coping just fine.

Um. Probably...? Never checked or noticed. There is a Stop Time so I'm taking it as a yes, I've just never ever ever used it. :D

I know, I know, but everyone here does it so I guess it's normal for me nowadays. I shouldn't, you're right. Problem is, I can't help it. Haha, that is so true. :D The oven emits a high-pitched bunch of beeps when dinner is done, but I don't hear it all the time, especially if I'm not...

Haha, exactly what I said when I found out about it. "No, they tested her eyesight" :D

What a disgusting man. Poor woman. :( He should be castrated.
