Internet Sites Biased Towards Supporting Suicide

Believe It Or Not, I Care About You writes "According to a new study in the British Medical Journal which examined the search results for various suicide-related search terms, the most common results supported or encouraged suicide. Wikipedia was one of the most prevalent sources of information, particularly on suicide methods, although the Wikimedia Foundation itself does not encourage suicide. Other studies have shown that media coverage has an effect on suicide particularly with respect to influencing the method chosen. Interestingly, this study notes that suicide rates actually decreased with increased Web usage in England, perhaps because support is readily available to anyone who wants it."

Funny: Yes.

But brings up a real question: in the minds of the bomber, Is it really suicide?
Or is it on par with the (not suicidal) soldier that throws him/herself on the grenade to protect is platoon?
