<a  href="http://digg.com/general_sciences/This_couple_want_a_deaf_child_Should_we_try_to_stop_them" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/external/digg.com/general_sciences/This_couple_want_a_deaf_child_Should_we_try_to_stop_them');" >blow this out of proportion</a> and say they&#8217;re killing all the hearing babies that pop out of her twat, but they are saying they would prefer a deaf child.  I get that they&#8217;re trying to make a point about equal rights and the unfairness of genetic selection.  And my personal stance is they can have a deaf kid if they want one it&#8217;s not my problem (except that they probably get extra funding from the government aka the taxpayers).</p>
<p>But, deafness is a defect.  You are not living an alternate lifestyle, your ears are broken.  I know, it probably sucks a lot and you have to rationalize it as something good in your screwed up head to keep on keeping on.  But you&#8217;ve got to let go of those insane rationalizations for a minute and realize this is your child and you want to fuck up their life.  They throw away all the broken toys at the toy factory, and as long as we&#8217;re dealing with fetuses there&#8217;s no reason not to do the same with humans.</p>
<p>Boy I sure take on the tough targets don&#8217;t I?  Take that <em>deaf people</em>!</p>
