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.
