Interesting debate. Many, I believe, in the deaf community would view this discussion to be similar to the debate about Mexican children having education in Spanish in CA, or perhaps the Ebonics debate that was the rage some years ago. Should the deaf live in a city designed for and by themselves(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurent,_South_Dakota http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurent,_South_Dakota)? Should cochlear implants be planted in deaf children (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1998/06/02/sunday/main10794.shtml http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1998/06/02/sunday/main10794.s...)?
