Quadriplegia also isn't fatal. Should we reject a miracle cure for it too?

- Dracophoenix 4y agoI don't think we should reject the creation of a medical cure at all. I'm completely of the view that if an procedure exists to treat/cure a problem (however that's defined to exist) the procedure should be available to the extent the creator is interested in providing it. However, GP expanded upon a sociological dimension to disabilities and chronic illnesses that isn't usually discussed and considered. When asking "How do they cure it", an important question to consider is "Do they/ Would they ever want a cure and under what corcumstances?" It's quite the coincidence that deafness was the example used, because the scenario GP describes actually happened once before: https://www.icphs2019.org/the-marthas-vineyard-deaf-community-a-culture-and-history-rich-in-tradition https://www.icphs2019.org/the-marthas-vineyard-deaf-communit...
