VIDEO [CC] - Christie, a Deaf female who has struggled with her inability to have children, visits a fertility clinic with another woman, Michelle. The pair are informed about the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).





They are informed by a genetic counselor that a growing understanding of the genetic basis of some forms of deafness has made it possible to select for or against a Deaf child.
