I've been search online databases for editorials from differnet topics and papers and found a few that sparked my interest.
Below are the links to the editorial themselves, two from the New York Times, one from The Washington Post and finally one from a spanish language newspaper El Nuevo Dia.

Baby Cured of HIV
Unholy Alliance
TSA's New Rule
Out of these four editorials the one I like the best was the one I've titled just 'Baby Cured of HIV." What I liked best about this editorial was the authors optimism but also cautious way of approaching the topic. The article discusses a story that came out recently about a group of doctors that cured HIV in babies. This was done with relatively easy to find medication and the entire process did not take very long. The author does however inform the reader that the best course of action for babies that may be born with the virus is prevention before birth. The author however does say that if the study was true and they did cure HIV, then it would be a wonderful thing for the world, especially third world nations where many don't receive prenatal care or HIV prevention.
I personally believe that the author is well informed and makes sure to share what he knows of the current medical practice for babies at risk of contracting HIV from their mothers. He conveys this information with the use of basic words, nothing overly complicated that can be easily understood by most people. I think the prospect of a cure for HIV causes excitement in the author and I think he tries to make that optimism show through in his editorial.
