Is my child deaf?
That is actually quite a complicated question to answer. I am assuming that your partner has the ability to hear? It just depends on the genes that are dominant when the sperm and egg merge. A friend of mine is deaf and her daughter has full hearing abilities. It is possible but if the gene that causes the mother to be deaf is dominant over the gene that allows a person to be able to hear then the child will be deaf. But if the gene that allows the child to hear is dominant over the gene that will cause the child to be deaf then the child will be able to hear. If the mother has a family history of children being deaf it is possible, the liklihood of being deaf increases greatly if the father is deaf as well. I am sure that you can talk to your doctor to get a more specific answer. Good luck. It also depends on what caused the mother's deafness. Deafness is not always genetically related.

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.
What is a four child family's odds against having four boys?
The odds of a four-child family having four boys can be calculated using the probability of each child being a boy, which is typically 1/2. Therefore, the probability of having four boys in a row is (1/2) × (1/2) × (1/2) × (1/2) = 1/16. This means the odds against having four boys are 15 to 1, as there are 15 other combinations of boys and girls possible in four children.
