Ethics and Choices
This text covers every aspect of the controversy surrounding children as young as 12 months, in some cases even younger, being implanted with cochlear devices. Over 400 responses by parents of children with cochlear implants, and later the children themselves, were reviewed as part of the study.
The book begins with a history of cochlear implants, their development, and how they work. The next section focuses on pediatric implants. Parents of children with cochlear implants share how they coped when discovering that their child was deaf and how they learned of cochlear implants. The final portion discusses the controversy associated with cochlear implants, the reactions of the Deaf community, and the ethics involved in implanting young children without their consent. It concludes with observations and recommendations for parents and professionals, making this an essential text on the pros and cons of implants. [John B. Christiansen, Irene W.
