Should deaf people get cochlear implants? No! Say what you think. I luv sign language and Deaf culture and am totally against cochlear implants! I think it destroys Deaf culture.

So you'd rather thousands of deaf people with the opportunity to gain hearing to stay deaf, just to keep sign language popular?

I am inspired by Deaf culture. I also think cochlear implants destroy Deaf culture.

I think like hugebear said,it's really their choice. But I think that it could be a good thing because deaf people they can hear someone say to them 'I Love you' or hear birds sing and all that other good stuff. I mean, if I was deaf, I would be desperate to FINALLY hear someone but again, that's just me of what I think. I'm kinda with you on this one, it does break the culture but again, like hugebear said, it's their choice Big Grin

I agree with Huge, it's up to the person on whether they want to get them or not. Not being able to hear is a big thing, and hearing is a main part of your life, I think they're great, because they will bring back a huge part of life back, even if it means potentially 'destroying' deaf culture. Sign language & deaf culture will always be a big part of this world, even if either aren't here or used any more.
