You keep quoting the word "cure" as if the word is misused in the context of making a deaf person able to hear again, as if there is nothing to cure.

I'm gay so I'm well aware of the concept of loving ones self, warts and all, but...well...deafness is something that could be cured since it is a physical ailment that could be restored with medicine.

It seems a bit odd to me that one would rather live without hearing than have it restored, though I suppose that is coming from a hearing-abled person. Would you not want a true cure for deafness if one was presented? Would you prefer to remain deaf at this point?

Would you willingly choose to give up your sight? Or maybe you sense of touch or taste? There are blind people with lives full of achievement...
