TV production looking for opinions about deaf embryo debate in the UK

A UK-based TV production company is researching a documentary about the IVF embryo issues within the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill, which the UK Parliament is currently debating.

According to the legislation under consideration, "deafness would be included as an ‘abnormality;’ therefore, any parents would be forced to choose embryos with hearing genes as opposed to those with deaf genes."

The production company "would really like to speak to somebody who feels they would choose the deaf embryo given the choice, and give them a chance to explain their reasons for doing so." To contact the production company or to read more about the issue, go here.
