How can you be certain stem cells will not work. They have been very effective in treating other disorders. A police officer here in Dallas who suffers from MS has had amazing results. He has hearing loss as a complication of his MS and has regained some of his hearing through stem cells. One thing I am sure of though. A negative attitude will not cure anything.

I apologize Koko. I realize we are talking about a cure in general but the pesimism in this post rubbed me the wrong way.

That's how you feel and you are entitled to that but pls do not make degrading remarks about people who feel differently than you do. That's how society looks down on us..if you accept that kind of insult, then you are contributing to the oppression of deaf people.

Just realized his stance is similar to the 3rd and 4th generation mixed First Nations... They're so diluted, they don't give a damn about their ancestors or their grandparents' culture.

bashful? but I answered your question. Is there a specific requirement on answering your question?

Theoretically so.

It's because of several compounding factors that led up to less use of ISL rather than simply not giving a damn about their grandparent's culture. I pointed those out in my blog with this link.
