Over in the Peer Supervision Forum, the journal article for discussion during the week of the 16th to 23rd January, 2010 is:
Designing Deaf Babies and the Question of Disability
(join forum for link access)
Source: Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education Advance Access originally published online on April 27, 2005
The Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education 2005 10(3):311-315
Ethical and moral questions to ponder from the article:
- Should a couple be able to design a baby with a disability similar to disability that one of the parents may have?
- Should a homosexual couple be able to have babies at all?
- Is being Deaf a disability?
Don’t forget that many professional associations allow Professional Development points for reading journal articles. AASW does. To provide your association with evidence of your article ponderment (great word I just made up) please print out your comment, but not the comments of everyone else.
Come and join the discussion. Peer supervision needs peers willing to share their views: to teach and to learn. Are you a peer, or a voyeur?
Just raised an accommodation around the world forum for members of my new Peer Supervision site for Human Service professionals.
Human Service Professionals love to travel, love learning new cultures, meeting new people and helping wherever they can because we are into social understanding and inclusion. Help each other out: If you have a bed or a room to billet out, or a house to house sit, list it here. If you are contacted by a member, it is then up to you to do negotiations with that person.
If you want to offer a FREE billet to a human service professional, go advertise it on the site (members only, join here).
If you are a travelling Human Service professional and looking for free accommodation, ask for that or check out what’s already available. We all love to travel and free, safe, non discriminatory accommodation with like minded people is wonderful.
If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.
