Is it selfish for a deaf person to want their child to be deaf. Son is hearing impaired and girlfriend is deaf. Their baby can hear but she said she wishes the baby was deaf.?

It is more of a feeling that you want your child to be like you: there is honesty in stating the fact. Many deaf people do not see an advantage to hearing; in fact there is quite a controversy over the collinear implant solution that would restore hearing for some deaf people.
However, the child will have an advantage in learning sign language to communicate with her deaf parent. Having access to language as a toddler aids learning skills.
