- I don't know how I feel personally about this. I can see the argument
- going that AIDS is fundamentally different from other disabilities; there's
- generally a greater stigma, greater financial burden, greater isolation,
- etc. attached to it. I mean, how many parents stop talking to their kids
- because they became quadripeligics in a car accident? How many amputees
- get their health insurance canceled?
