If a deaf person decides to get an implant, or their (hearing?) parents decide for them, and later decides they no longer want it then it’s pretty much reversible, right? They can just not turn it on, or perhaps even have it removed again?
This article is talking about gene therapy, not an assistive device. It’s probably a much more permanent decision.
I want to believe !
This new thing “gene therapy” has nice potential …of course there will be (also) extremely bad cases, but overall I decide stubbornly to believe that the positive will outweigh the negative.
Please down-vote my comment here since I am not trying to see your point (which is a fair point by the way 👍).
