I also didn't read anything in the article that suggested to me where he advocated "forcing people to try to adapt to use a capability of which they only have partial access." Seems like you may be militating toward it. Regards, Alias Anonymous To BR:

The implication appeared in a quote on your blog. So now I feel that I have accomplished my purpose. The reason I asked the question was to counter the implication that signing is not normal.

One step closer to being able to answer your question. But at the moment I can (still) only answer it with a question of my own: Does Krikorian say that speaking is normal and using sign language is not? Okay. One step closer to being able to answer your question. But at the moment I can (still) only answer it with a question of my own:

Does Krikorian say that speaking is normal and using sign language is not?

Actually, it's more natural for Deaf people to use sign language, because they have full use of the visual faculty. Using a capability that one has full use of is normal. Forcing people to try to adapt to use a capability of which they only have partial access (i.e., partial hearing) is not normal and is in fact immoral.
