JC> Please point out chapter and verse.
On page 4 of the FAXed draft I have, in the section headed
"Ethical errors", line 17:
NAD> We should not aim to make children who would otherwise be
NAD> Black adults into white ones, children who would otherwise
NAD> be women into men, or children who would otherwise be members
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
NAD> of the deaf community into members of the hearing community -
There you have it, racism, sexism and deafism - all in the same
sentence. Quite an accomplishment! I think that summarizes NAD's
real concern quite well. They seem to fear that cochlear implants
will enable a few deaf children to hear. Hope this helps clarify
the issue for you.
