The grandmother of one of the deaf children keeps trying to tell her son and his wife to do the cochlear implant. They argued over it multipul times and the grandmother is trying to convince them that bydoing it she will be part of both worlds. The deaf people feel that the idea of taking away his deafness is because they dont accept deaf culture or that the parents think that deaf poeople are stupid.
They did research to find out more and decided to move to Maryland to get their child a better eductaion.
There are many arguments but I agree with the grandmother. Why can't they be part of both worlds? She could communicate with hearing people and deaf people. Most hearing people are very open to deaf people, the only thing is they don't know how to communicate with them, but it seems from watching this thatthe deaf people feel like hearing people are trying to shut them down. I feel like the deaf community is trying to sort of fence in the deaf and take it as a betrayal to leave them, but by getting a cochlear implant they can have a much easier life, and oppertunities. The deaf community is the holding back the oppertunities of the child, making it like there is only one choice, ifthe deaf community was more accepting then you can be part of both worlds!
