A deaf  lesbian woman says that the use of Genetic Engineering and In Vitro Fertilization to deliberately produce a deaf child is a matter of “cultural identity,” and should not be considered a “disability.” This is just the tip of the iceberg -  what next? What about the “rights or expectations of a child?” What chance does such a child have to plead it’s own case before this is allowed to be done to it? None! This same child one day may ask “why” it had to be born this way? We already say that a woman has a right to do what she wants with “her” body, when we know full well that there is a “separate and apart body developing inside her,” but, she can terminate it if she wants to, it’s the law. Yet we say we protect our children from all harm? Where is medicine going? Some people say we are becoming an LRS (Lab Rat Species).
