T would like to say that I really feel that this person should be - _ treated as humanly as possible, ‘and we should make this person feel that the decision to chose our community to die in was a - wonderful move considering he or she made a big step into mov- ing in our community blindly, thinking that their remaining days will be peaceful. Despite the total ignorance of the people in this town, I cannot believe that with the daily and widely-publicized knowledge of this epidemic disease AIDS that the people have chosen to turn their backs as if it were a phan- tom illness. Please, Terrace, 1 beg you to have some compassion and give this person the freedom to. live like we all do and not be denied public services. For example, would you do this same dis- service to a dying person who has had therapy for cancer. and had hair loss, or older people tolerance © “who cannot ‘help themselves, or a pregnant mother who needed assistance from you to get your: public help by taxis or the task of pushing the grocery cart; I’ve known people who’ve had cancer, older people, all kids of people and also a person who died of AIDS, they are no dif- ferent than any of us. They feel too. Before you judge am AIDS sufferer, go and get literature or else be aware of the beginning and end of its painful stages; - once again, before you utter an objection to accepting this per- son in our community, be sure you know more about it (AIDS). " If it weren’t for the ignorance of other people, the AIDS victim would not have been forced to hid their identity. Don’t you think you would rest better knowing who had the disease? Would you give equal treatment as you would any other person? Thank you for reading this letter, and to the person with AIDS, I hope and pray your life in Terrace will get better.
