Nnyads, BUI REAL HEAVYWEIGHTS WHEN RESULTS REALLY COUNT. Battalion Classified 845-0569 >wv^vwvwvtfvwvv , /V 1 ^ LOS ANGELES (AP) — They swallow deadly drugs, plunge out of windows, smash their cars and hang or shoot themselves at an alarming rate. And they do it be cause suicide seems better than the alternative: dying of AIDS. “You have no control over this illness at all, so it gives me some kind of control when I can say I can end my life any time I want to,” Chuck Sporeman, a 43-year-old nurse who has AIDS, said. Sporeman tried to kill himself twice in December 1988, two months after his male companion of 13 years died of AIDS. He said he might try again when the dis ease leaves him unable to care for himself, but partici pation in a support group helps, at least for now. “There are days where I wish I had done it, but there are other days when it’s a beautiful day, the wind is blowing through the trees, I can go watch the waves crashing on the beach, and I’m glad I didn’t do it,” he said. The author of a 1988 Cornell University study esti mates about 1,000 AIDS patients in the United States will kill themselves by 1991. The study found people with AIDS are 66 times more likely to commit suicide than the general population. “It definitely happens all the time,” said Andrew Weisser, spokesman for AIDS Project Los Angeles, a service agency where five of 2,100 AIDS-infected cli ents killed themselves in December. The relatively small number of AIDS-related suicides reported publicly “is just the tip of the iceberg,” Weisser said. “There’s no way for us to keep track,” said Los An geles County coroner’s spokesman Bob Dambacher. “If someone comes off a building, we don’t know if they have AIDS. If they shoot themselves, we don’t know.” Such suicides graphically illustrate that mental health budget cuts and discrimination leave many AIDS pa tients without adequate counseling, Weisser said. Many AIDS patients who discuss suicide are “calling out for help,” he said. But hopelessness makes others kill them selves: • A 28-year-old AIDS patient in San Diego drank all day, stole a car, swerved down the highway withoii:| headlights, then triggered a six-car accident that I him and injured three others in April 1988. Pauljaiwil Curry “was dying slow. I think he chose to die fast :| friend said. Two men who authorities said had AIDS lidl themselves together, then jumped 35 floors off the ! New York apartment building in 1985. • Philip Saylor, 40, took a revolver into LosAngeleij Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Jan. 2, shot and killec his longtime companion, 35-vear-old AIDS patieniSifr “ v I ou have no control over this illness at all, so it gives me some kind of control when I can say I can end my life any time I want to.” — Chuck Sporeman, AIDS victim ven Jenkins, then killed himself. Police said Saylor also was infected by the AIDS virus. After that tragedy, several experts said suicide can b( a reasonable alternative if AIDS patients are thinking clearly and are fully informed of all options. “People have a right to kill themselves — not early on when people first find they’re infected, but when the have become sufficiently sick that the quality of theii life is not satisfactory to them,” said Dr. Neal Schranu member of the California Medical Association's AIDS task force. Rabbi Allen Freehling, a member of the Los Angeles County Commission on AIDS, advises AIDS patients against killing themselves, saying suicide is a selfish ad that can compound the grief of family and friends. “In Ecclesiastes, it says there is a time to liveanda time to die, and I don’t think the author of thal statement meant we should decide when that time is,’■ Freehling said.
