Ooh, I can imagine the uproar this article will cause if the Deaf culture comes across it. It’s great the implant worked well for the teen, but to have a campaign urging people to have a cochlear implant? Ouch.
I don’t believe in urging people to do something. A decision such as getting an implant is personal and it’s up to the person and her family to make it. Such decisions should involve researching, talking with people, and getting medical advice.
