I assume there must be a reason why sign language is superior but I genuinely don't know why.

Yes, I get the culture aspect of it, I've seen and read a fair amount on the subject, but I just can't see it as worth it. And as technology improves, it's going to be even harder. As for the not broken, I disagree with that, too. It doesn't make them less of people, just like not being able to walk or see doesn't, but there are still many things the average person can do that they can't, just like how I can't legally drive without corrective lenses and would be pretty nervous if I had to.

That’s my take on it too, I am sure I am missing a LOT of nuance and explanation, or at least I hope I am.
