Stijn Coninx: “Abortion was never an option; 3 of my 4 children are deaf”

Film director Stijn Coninx, 69, discusses a profound family decision on the video podcast InclusieKLAP. He and his partner consciously expanded their family despite the hereditary risk: three of their four children are deaf. Coninx says abortion was never an option for them. They did not want their son Klaas to feel that his disability had determined their desire to have children.
