Disgraces’ mother, who was intoxicated with alcohol at the time of giving birth to him (alcohol consumption during pregnancy is rarely a good idea), had given her newly born son a surprisingly faultless name.
Disgraces’ only real friend was obviously someone in the same boat , another ill-named white blood cell named, “ugly poo,” this cell never made fun of Disgraces’ name because his stupid name was just as bad.

There were white blood cells from all over the body. Even immune cells that didn’t mainly attack, viruses joined in. Macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, you name it.
A bunch of lymphocyte immune cells entered the battle. He recognized one of them as Ugly poo.
Ugly poo entered the battle, engulfing virions as fast as he could. Loser watched in horror as a virion snuck up behind him and attached itself to Ugly poo’s backside of his membrane.
“NOOO!!” he screamed, and without thinking got back up to try and help him out. The moment his back into the battle range he was bombarded by a group of virions. They attached themselves to his membrane and he collapsed to the floor of the Brachial Artery. He screamed in pain as the virus penetrated his plasma membrane and slowly took over his insides. It was a horrible way to die.
Before the world turned to white, he wished for one last chance to be with his best friend. Ugly poo had been the only person who was nice to him, the only leukocyte that cared, and now he was suffering the same fate as he; after death, their cells would still be used by the virus to replicate itself.

    If anyone were asked to describe her, feisty, rude, blunt, hostile, anything along those lines would most likely be their response. Ask her counterpart, or a close friend, and it's possible that they would respond a simple "bittersweet". On the off occasion where her blonde roots showed as the pink dye wore away, the dark circles under her eyes would be amplified, and her voice would be uncharacteristically quiet. On those rare days, she wouldn't go out. At least not to more then one place.…

    This book tells the story of Damon Courtenay as he tries to overcome the adversities caused by haemophilia and Aids. After I finished this book, I was disappointed by the treatment people with HIV and Aids received, particularly by the men and women in the medical profession. I don't want to sound hypocritical and judge these people because personally, I don't know how I will react to such situation, particularly in the 1980’s where the knowledge of this disease was very low. I also believe that one cannot prepare for such situation, so it's understandable why they were so overwhelmed.…

    Stigma In The 1980's

    Introduction Stigma is generally counterproductive in society. By definition it is the perception of disgrace associated with a circumstance, quality, or person. By manifest, it is often the complete and impulsive dismission of a “circumstance, quality, or person”, with no after thought as to the origins of this gut-reaction. Throughout history we have seen many instances of these taboo-like topics. During the 1980’s, people suffering from HIV/AIDS took the brunt of the disapproving glances and hushed comments from the general populace in the United States.…

    I don't know whether history repeats itself, but biography certainly does. The other day, Michael came in and asked me what a "jerk" was--the same question Carolyn put to me a dozen years ago. At that time, I fluffed her off with some inane answer, such as, "A jerk isn't a very nice person," but both of us knew it was an unsatisfactory reply. When she went to bed, I began trying to work up a suitable definition. It is a marvelously apt word, of course.…
