[article condemning USA Todays invasion of privacy of Arthur Ashe by announcing
he had AIDS, so original article]

While I support your point about privacy 100%, has it not come to a sad state
of affairs when one is "laid low" by the revelation that you have
caught a terminal disease through blood transfusion. Why should someone
have to be ashamed? Is the knowledge you mat die soon not enough?
I could never understand just how or why people are so horrible to AIDS
victims, especially those who have caught it as a result of medical 
negligence/ignorance. How can anyone treat the dying like this? Especially
those so called Christians who see this as some kind of Devine punishment -
it seems like a strange way to punish people, giving them a terminal
disease because they had a blood transfusion for treatment of haemophilia
or during major surgery.....
