I completely agree with you in broader terms, but that wasn't really what my comment was about. The poster I replied to suggested that they'd be outraged if they discovered that their parents had made a concious choice to select a deaf embryo. My point, and the reason that it isn't a black and white debate, was that if the parents hadn't made that choice, the deaf-but-outraged child wouldn't exist. On a larger, societal level, I think that purposefully selecting deaf children is wrong. On a personal level, if I was that deaf child, I don't know if I could be outraged at my parents choice because if they hadn't made it I simply wouldn't exist. You'd have to be fairly certain in your beliefs to be outraged at acts that resulted in your being.
