They are doing their best to get their genetic defect passed on to their child by having a child with a man who also has a genetic defect that conveys deafness. No, not everyone is capable of hearing. Famous last RPG quotes: "I'll just shoot this fireball down the dungeon passageway..."

This is even worse than hangar queen embryos. Maybe I should just take some soma. A gramme is better than a damn...

If competence is considered "hubris" then may I and my country always be as "arrogant" as we can possibly manage.
