Why does a deaf mother want her baby to be deaf?
That is not always the case, because most mothers want their baby to hear. If they do want their baby to be deaf, it is because they want their baby to be just like them, suffer like them, or understand the way their mother is. It may also be because she wants to be able to communicate well with her child, in sign language, as opposed to having a hearing child, who would have to use sign language to talk to her, and it might seem to her that she would feel more comfortable if the child were also deaf and didn't have to use sign language just because of her.
When deaf people who can hear talk to hearing people do they get the message that sign language is less important?
There is no such thing as as deaf person that can hear, unless you're talking about a hard-of-hearing person, or a person who is legally deaf but has some hearing. In that case, a person talks to another person in a common language, whether it be sign language or vocal language.In these situations, I don't think there's any implication that sign language is less important.

Is it selfish for a deaf person to want their child to be deaf. Son is hearing impaired and girlfriend is deaf. Their baby can hear but she said she wishes the baby was deaf.?
It is more of a feeling that you want your child to be like you: there is honesty in stating the fact. Many deaf people do not see an advantage to hearing; in fact there is quite a controversy over the collinear implant solution that would restore hearing for some deaf people. However, the child will have an advantage in learning sign language to communicate with her deaf parent. Having access to language as a toddler aids learning skills.

Are deaf people lucky to be deaf?
Being deaf, I don't find deafness as a sign of weakness; just an inability to hear. I truly am lucky to be deaf. I could communicate with a beautiful language- ASL. (American Sign Language.) There also are many sign languages in different countries. For an example, there is French Sign Language. So bascially it is like as if I am a foreigner and you are an American. There is no difference.
