If you're deaf maybe you can assess what it would be like for your child to be a member of the deaf community. If you aren't deaf then you have to decide whether again whether you want your child to become a member of that way or if you want them to get cochlear implants. In many ways some of the outcomes are better for those children in terms of their career opportunities and other kinds of things because they assimilate more easily into ordinary society but in other ways it's not clear that life is better.
Philosopher and author L.A. Paul talks about her book Transformative Experience with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Paul explores the uncertainties that surround the transformative experiences that we choose and that happen to us without choosing. How should we think about the morality and personal impact of these kinds of experiences, especially when some decisions are very hard or impossible to reverse? Examples include becoming a vampire, having children, religion, and other life experiences and choices.
