Description
"Each of Reilly's five fascinating tales about genetic disorders raises ethical questions that loom in our future. Many children born deaf have two copies of a particular gene mutation, and it is now possible to identify couples at risk for bearing deaf children even if they have no family history. But is deafness a disease? On that question, hearing parents of deaf children often sharply disagree with deaf adults. As the science progresses, will the number of children born deaf decline and put a culture at risk?"--Jacket.
