That, or "a totalitarian regime engineering an army of modified super soldiers". I know they're a liberal pop science channel that make condensed and easily digestable content intended for all ages, but come on

    Why would choosing to have deaf children be a positive? Wouldn't that construe child abuse and torture? Pretty sure if you ask any deaf person if they'd like to gain the ability to hear you'd get an enthusiastic affirmative. This ridiculous ultraleft fetishism of the lack of abilities has to stop, it is always better to be capable of doing more rather than less.

      the exact opposite is true - the deaf rights groups are adamant that they do not want to be eliminated as a community. they take pride in their deafness and look at attempts to eradicate deafness as genocide. I strongly suggest not speaking on behalf of groups you are neither part of nor have a relationship with - if I weren't informed on this subject, I'd never have spoken.

        Ridiculous. Taking pride in deafness is like taking pride in not having a limb - where's the pride? That you can do less with your body? Improving on human weakness and suffering is not genocide. This rhetoric comes too close for comfort to evangelical logic of not messing with god's work.

          I'm glad you know better than the people you're casually dismissing. have you considered that you perhaps just hate minorities? otherwise, you could just go talk to the people you're condescending at instead. you might learn where the pride in community comes from.

          the deaf community shares languages and cultures that are entirely distinct from hearing ones. it's genocide because to eliminate the deaf population is to wipe out those cultures.

          also, as you're definitely a chud that needs to post hog, I'm not replying any further. take your pointless and misdirected anger someplace else.

            The bourgeois community shares languages and cultures that are distinct from the proletarian ones therefore dismantling the bourgeois class would be genociding a minority 🤪

            A person who can hear can chose to close their ears, a person who can see can chose to close their eyes, a person with intact limbs can chose to sit still or lie down, the reverse doesn't work. Saying you're genociding a minority by restoring people's abilities is akin to saying that giving people a set of gills as a supplement to their lungs so they can easily swim underwater is terran genocide. Maybe it's you who are a conservative retrograde chud and ought to reflect on why you have the urge to torture children.
