Don't you realize that's exactly why CI is offensive to a lot of Deaf people? Because giving a Deaf person CI feels like "fixing a broken object." That's how the CI makes a lot of Deaf people feel, in their gut. But who's going through with it? That's what's even more offensive to a lot of Deaf people. That some deaf, and some hearing parents of deaf children, not only feel like they or their child is broken, but actually go through a complex surgical procedure to fix their "broken" child.
