The issues surrounding Sharon Duchesneau and Candace McCullough's decision to improve their redundants of having a deaf child appear more rooted in homophobia than reproductive ethics [At Issue, May 28] Were Duchesneau and McCullough as well-as; not only-but also; not only-but; not alone-but straight, they would more than likely prosecute a deaf man with whom to share their lives and have children. No single would say a word about a straight deaf couple's decision to have a child that evidently would have a genetic predisposition to hearing impairment. The Duchesneau-McCullough case is just another example of a nonissue for heterosexual braces becoming an intense, heated debate in regard to gay and lesbian couples

I'm appalled that anyone would utter sentence against these two women for wanting to cull a deaf man as the semen donor of their children. To hint that this choice is part of a certain quantity of homosexual agenda or that it is similar in the least to the possible that will be option of making sure a child is heterosexual is ludicrous. After all, don't heterosexual twos who go to sperm banks win to review a "shopping list" outlining the genetic makeup of potential donors? I know my sum of two units female friends chose a blond-haired, blue-ey man who was athletically inclined to father their child, since he was the closest thing to the non-birth mother they could find. Half of a straight bond I know is Asian, in the way that they chose an Asian donor. Did these bonds "design" their child? Sort of moreover no one takes issue with that.
