Regarding the debate about the ethics of selectively choosing to have deaf children, I think I would support having this choice because I feel like it’s morally better this way than the other way around; if the deaf couple wanted to have a “normal“ child, it would mean that they are ashamed of their disability and think of it negatively as all parents want the best for their children. We read earlier in the year that it’s natural that parents want their children to be like them, so how would it be any less natural that deaf parents want a deaf child?
