Ageed, and some deaf people are happy that they can access sounds and speech. I guess the point is that every person is unique and an individual and instead of constantly attacking those who chose a different path for either themselves or for their child, just accept the fact that, like every other community, there is a diversity of opinions in the deaf community and move on.
And just to be clear, Shel, I am NOT referring to you as someone who attacks those with a different point of view.
