Comments
I am not agreed with the bill.....The reason is based "Data" is very danger to Deaf children and Deaf baby.
The nature of Data will coming to be largest numbers that Hearing people to have many professionals like Doctor, Audiology, Mental and Mind counselors while we do not have many professional who works with children to make decision for best choice of Deaf children or Deaf baby
