The example of deafness is a particularly interesting one. Many culturally Deaf (the convention is to use lowercase 'deaf' to indicate the condition of hearing impairment, and uppercase 'Deaf' to indicate the cultural grouping) people consider themselves to be not disabled, but a linguistic minority. Although the available evidence suggests that the majority of Deaf people have no preference for having deaf or hearing children ( Stern et al, 2002; Middleton et al, 2001), some clearly do, and this has already given rise to at least one high-profile case. In early 2002 a lesbian couple, both with congenital hearing impairment, used a sperm donor with a heritable form of deafness to increase their chances of having a deaf child. Note that they did not reject having a hearing child, only that they felt a deaf one would be “a special gift”. The couple have so far had two children, both hearing impaired ( Mundy, 2002). Public responses ranged from outrage to a defence of the couple's right, not only to have a child, but to choose the kind of child they wanted to have.

Treatment for medical emergencies must be provided promptly, often through an emergency department or, in less critical situations, through an urgent care facility. The Oxford-Harrington Rare Disease Centre (OHC) in the Department of Paediatrics has a central role in the delivery of this programme, alongside Genomics England, the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry and the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency.The initial cause of the diseased state may lie within the individual organism itself, and the disease is then said to be idiopathic, innate, primary, or “essential.” It may result from a course of medical treatment, either as an unavoidable side effect or because the treatment itself was ill-advised; in either case the disease is classed as iatrogenic. Finally, the disease may be caused by some agent external to the organism, such as a chemical that is a toxic agent. In this case the disease is noncommunicable; that is, it affects only the individual organism exposed to it. The external agent may be itself a living organism capable of multiplying within the host and subsequently infecting other organisms; in this case the disease is said to be communicable.
