 AB    In places such as The Netherlands and the US west coast, assistance in
       suicide has become a choice actually available to persons with AIDS.
       Hence, it is important to consider the rational structure of choices
       about suicide in AIDS. There are four principal levels of choice: (1)
       the question of active control over dying; (2) the question of holding
       out for a cure; (3) the choice of going early or going late; and (4) the
       question of what weight to give to the interests of others.
