Then a cure for paralysis, blindness, Alzheimer, Parkinson, hearing loss, and whole host of other conditions too numerous to mention here are not worth going for because there'd be less diversity. No?

I dunno but are there paralysis, Alzheimer, and Parkinson cultures? Is there some kind of sign language or a certain language invented by people with Alzheimer, Parkinson, and paralysis?

To Kokonut: But when you said that, it sounded like and attack on me , a hearie, wouldn't be accepted into the deaf culture.

I can see what Jiro is saying. You purposely like to make your posts misleading. You like to make controversy. You can be vague and condescending when other ask you to make yourself clear.

Sorry. No. That wasn't my intention. When I saw you say *poof!* and such and such. I said, no, that'd be impossible for Deaf culture to disappear that quickly. My fault for not taking out that last sentence you wrote and not make it clear in what I was referring to. Anyone can be a part of Deaf culture, even CODAs.

I understand. :ty: It obviously won't go "poof" once the cure is found. Do you think that deaf culture will slowly disappear once the cure is found?

due to global warming? :hyper:

btw - loving how you refused to answer my simple question with a direct answer.... something that you've been crying about since page 1 :wave:
 
i support a cure for deafness because that's where science/technology is going. people will still have the choice between remaining deaf and getting whatever it is out there to restore the hearing. the CI is out there now and many people chose not to get the treatment. the CI has a strong advantage in this situation of choices.. if someone doesn't like using the CI, he/she can always take it off. i don't know about stem cells.. people won't have the on/off switch like the CI. it's a very complicated issue.

i stopped wearing my CI and my family has been giving me shit about it. it's my choice, and they need to back off.
