Essentially, history

Genetically selecting for disabled children is the goal of the “Deaf of Deaf” movement. Although parent autonomy over their own child is a given, the utmost importance needs to be placed on the child’s right to an open future. Deaf people do not view their lack of hearing as a disability and flourish within their cohesive community.
