A report stated: “AIDS has become the No. 1 killer of women aged 25-34 in New York City.” And sadly, a large number​—some say about 50 percent—​of women carrying the AIDS virus are giving birth to babies who have the disease.

Dr. Margaret Hilgartner of the New York Hospital​—Cornell Medical Center said: “A severe hemophiliac is exposed to the blood of 800,000 to 1 million different people every year. Before the drug companies started heat-treating the blood products, the risk of infection was incredible.” She also said: “We are seeing more and more suicides among young hemophiliacs. They are very angry. They feel like scapegoats.”
