I understand how great it is a "good news" for Dr. Wei to receive an award for meningitis preventation for CI receptionists to be. Sign Language is a natural language that is God's gift for the Deaf Community. It does not cause any sufferings of bloody, incision and pain and even death sacrifice even though in a perfect good health that has to be destroyed like the Deaf has to suffer with CI.What are wrong with sign language and deafness? Who made us deaf ? God! Remember a history of the Martha Vineyarders with healthy social, rich educational benefits and communication.
