1. Heather and Baby Peter are first cousins. Heather's parents are deaf. Baby Peter's parents and siblings are hearing, although his maternal grandparents and his uncle Peter (on his father's side; Heather's father) are deaf. Do you think the decisions about heather and Peter should be influenced by their parents' deafness or hearing?

 

2. Can you understand why [grown] Peter, Nita, and Mari's parents are happy to have a deaf child or grandchild? Can you understand how their self-respect is involved in this?

 

 

3. Was the speech of the girl whose parents are deaf and who had an implant later in childhood sufficiently good to protect her from ridicule in the hearing world?

 

4. When a child leaves his parents' "culture" [e.g. religion, values about abortion, ethnic practices, etc.], what do you think a parent feels?
