| Abstract
|
:
|
"With the rate of cochlear implantation reaching 80% to 90% of all deaf children, some as young as five months old, this comprehensive collection arrives at a critical juncture. These world-renowned ethicists, educators, and Deaf leaders express their diverse perspectives on the bioethics of childhood cochlear implantation according to their disciplines and a number of themes of inquiry: human rights, medical and social ethics, psychology, education, globalization, identity, life pathways, democracy, media, law, and biotechnology.".

"Drawing on current research, this volume presents the varying reactions around the globe to the high rate of implantation. These views contrast sharply with the medical perspective of deafness overwhelmingly promoted through the media and by the cochlear implant industry. At the same time, the contributors aim to disrupt the binaries that have long dominated the field of deafness - speech versus sign, instruction through speech and sign systems versus bilingual education, and medical intervention versus cultural membership in the Deaf community."--BOOK JACKET.
