The debate over whether deaf parents should have the option to select for a deaf child raises important ethical questions. Advocates argue that this choice allows parents to raise children within their own culture and community, fostering a sense of identity. Critics worry about the implications of “designer babies” and the potential loss of diversity. This discussion challenges us to consider the balance between parental rights and societal values, as well as the future of genetic selection.
