"Our choice?" So far it is just only you touting your desire/need to be hearing. I am sorry but you cannot be hearing; emotionally, socially, psychologically - you cannot be hearing as there are social dynamics both hearing and deaf individuals just cannot be the same.
As a DeafBlind, I need to ask you to refrain from comparing vision to hearing. They both are vastly different; hearing and seeing are two different dynamics. ASL is a gestural-visual language. To speak, it is required to hear.
Why are you not educating yourself in college or taking classes when you should be allowing the professionals in this field do their job; thus allowing you to learn about why we all response in our own trigger reactions. I am in college and one of the programs is Lifespan Development - a wonderful psychology program. I learn about why we as individuals have culturally/socially based responses.
Learning online will not satisfy your knowledge; you need to get out and socialise. You tout to have IQ - intelligence but remember with IQ comes EQ - emotional intelligence.
I must advise you that you have weak EQ skills because your thinking processes do not bode well with your IQ. Take your last statement -
Nobody here is a well-respected CI doctor or the well-respected stem cell researcher you seek out for. So far, you claim to be the "researcher" you are looking out for. In your mind - IQ and EQ, your words are the gospel.
Now I hope you understand why you view us attacking you - both your IQ and EQ are of the same plane. It is not working out well because we question your technique; naturally it is your inner self fight or flight coming out as a natural defense mechanism.
No one is attacking you here in this thread; we just question the integrity of your thinking process because of stem cell research itself.
