The right to a baby

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Disabled Parents Network : One Thread

I am working on a paper and would like some info if possible. I am to take a position on the following issue: a deaf lesbian couple would like to have a child. They would like to seek a deaf donor in order to maximize they're chances of having a deaf baby. The media found out and condemned the situation saying 1. it is better to have a hearing baby and 2. it is not ethical to inflict a disability on a child. I am to support the couple in my paper saying it is alright for the couple. If any info is available to aid me i would greatly appreciate it. I am having trouble even knowing where to start. Thank you.
