One example is the movement that took place years ago to stop deaf people from having children. I took several classes on Deaf Culture and had hoped to become an interpreter before I got sidelined with breast cancer. Learning that there was a concerted effort to stop the deaf from having families was sickening. One of my teachers was a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults). She was not hearing impaired but ASL was her first language.
I also worked as a teen with a group of Down's Syndrome kids and was certified to teach swimming lessons to them. While there are certainly challenges...there are also certainly joys.
First of all...who decides what 'defects' should be done away with?
That's a prime example of a very slippery slope.
