Thank you, Libby, for pointing out just how important the words we choose can be. "Cured" -- even with quotation marks around the word -- is not only insulting, but it is provocative and dangerous. So long as we perpetuate myths that something is wrong with certain things, we give license to those who use unacceptable means to get rid of them.
