Well, where do I even begin?
This was one of the most interesting movies I've watched in a very long time. There are just so many questions I have, I'm just so confused. I never knew that many deaf people viewed being deaf as a blessing. Maybe because I am hearing to me it seems more like a disability. I would be devasted if any of my children were born deaf.
If I was in the position of being a parent who has a deaf child and needs to make the decision about the cochlear implant, I don't know what I would do. I'm leaning towards getting the implant because I want my child to have as many oppurtunities in society as he or she can. I would still want them sign language and all about the deaf culture, but I'd want them to see both sides of the world, not just one.
