DeafDigest - 23 October 2019

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - October 23, 2019 -- Russian scientist's choice A newspaper story said that Denis Rebrikov, the Russian scientist, made a bad choice - instead of trying to create a HIV-Resistant gene, he chose to create a Deafness Gene.   -- some still using old fashioned devices A magazine article today said that there are still some deaf people using old fashioned devices (TTY machines and fax machines) despite new technology nowadays.   -- the CI person and the police officer A young deaf man lost his CI when a police officer, thinking he was disobedient, tased him. The CI fell down and couldn't be found. The police officer didn't know he was deaf. And to make things worse, the police was responding to an incident in which the deaf man had nothing to do with it. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Very scary!   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 10/20/19 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
