Letter from WFD to the Department of Health
By Alison Bryan | April 8th, 2008 | Posted in Department of Health |
The World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) wrote a letter to the Department of Health over their concerns over section 14(4)(9) of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill (HFEB). A copy of this letter can be found here [PDF].
It is good to get international support, and to get a wider frame of reference to the implications of this proposed legislation.

Hi,
I think the bill is a disgrace. You can not eradicate people because of deafness, nor can you because of a disibility. Effectively, people can “choose” their children- pick one that has every chromozone intact. What happened to just having children naturally, or if using IVF treatment, being delighted you had conceived? Now people can analyse their unborn children and decide whether they “want” them or not. I think it’s disgusting.
