what about if you were a deaf child and your parents got you a cochlear implant? That is medically altering the child for, it's true in a sense, the convenience of the parents and family.
So, you're saying there's no benefit for the child in a cochlear implant?

But what's your point? There's absolutely a benefit to this child to be kept small -- the constant care, love, and attention of her parents instead of shift-workers.
