The resistance to even entertaining the idea of curing deafness is one of these strange things. I know there's a history where deaf people were treated quite crudely in medicine (basically claims that they're mentally disabled) but aren't those days also clearly over? I wonder if there's a similar movement in the blind community. I suspect not though

There are leftwing deaf "activists" against cochlear implants because they're crazy and think it's deaf erasure/genocide. Okay I'm exaggerating with genocide but with he way that word's thrown around now they might be there already.

I believe it's the Trump admin defunding this research?  Another win for Horseshoe Theory.
