Kilner Authors Lead Editorial in Sunday's Washington TimesChicago, Illinois - May 10, 2002 - In opinion piece by Center President John Kilner will run as the lead editorial in this Sunday's Washington Times Forum section. The article discusses the ethical issues surrounding the attempt by a lesbian couple to create a genetically deaf child. In the article, Dr. Kilner comments, "If we now say that parents can cause their children to be without hearing, then we are saying that parents' preferences are all that matters. They can cause whatever harm to their child they wish, as long as they get enough benefit from doing so. Now is the time to draw the line." For those who are unable to access the piece, the entire article will be published in the next issue of the Center's newsletter "Dignity" which is mailed to all Center supporters. For interviews with Center personnel, contact Daniel McConchie at 847-317-8180 or by email at dmcconchie@cbhd.org.
