The Proposition: Allowing Deaf parents to select for fetal characteristics of deafness should be allowed. Tips: Stick to the debate around selection of fetal characteristics in the context of Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), exploring the arguments that touch upon Deaf Culture as well as issues of significance to the larger disability community. Make every attempt to relate your arguments to the social model of disability. Don''t give an inordinate amount of attention to the current scientific and technical limitations of screening and selection -an argument based to a major extent upon this point will be less and less compelling as the technology becomes more and more sophisticated. Don''t digress into philosophical musings on questions about the proprietary authority of parents or delve into theological considerations of religious faith.
