Nope. Absolutely no. Mostly deaf person here. It is utter insanity to inflict this on a person, and so-called parents who do should be sterilized and imprisoned until the child becomes an adult. The child should then be allowed to choose whether their biological parents ever get to communicate with them as adults. You don't get to mutilate a child and continue to participate in raising that child, or produce any more. Inflicting deafness is absolute, unmitigated cruelty. The so called "deaf culture" is a sick cult-like group with extremist memes that glorify a defect. Deafness isn't a feature, it's a bug. It's a crippling disability, and destroys any chance at normal social interactions from birth, requiring significant extra effort by every individual in the deaf person's life to accommodate. It easily leads to depression, antisocial behavior, and other psychological issues. Worst of all, it restricts the person from experiencing all of the music, conversation, nature and warning alerts and laughter and the vast beautiful landscape of sound there is to experience in the world. Don't enable monsters by trying to be accepting of differences. It's not cosmetic or trivial or cultural, hearing is a fundamental feature of the human experience.
