Yeah it's a very taboo subject with the deaf, one best left for later. One of the main reasons is because the implants that they have now don't always work and when they do they don't always work correctly, plus they have to pretty much relearn how to communicate. It's totally not a subject you would bring up with the deaf to get them interested. The deaf don't view it as a disability since they have reached the point where they can function just about as well as anyone else.
