Now you see why those of you are called "Deaf Apartheit"!
What is it with you people that are so against progress
and help for our future generation???

If cochlear implants will help them "hear" - why deny them
that benefit?  Who cares if there isn't a deaf community
or culture down the road?  I personally think it would be
great if deafness could be prevented, or at least corrected.
