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."

Suicide Is The Best!

[4D6963]

You know what's the best about sites that support suicide? User testimonials, like this one I found on suicideisthebest.com :

"A year ago, after my two children died in a helter skelter accident, I was so miserable, I lost my job, and found out that my husband was cheating on me with my father. I considered suicide, but I hesitated for a few months. I just wasn't sure it was the right thing to do. Everybody around me was against that idea. That's when I visited your website and felt compelled to act up. So I drove to a bridge above the freeway and hung myself with a piano string! My life is so much better than before since I killed myself! I get to spend all my time with my children and I regularly visit my ex-husband to scare the shit out of him! Suicide is the best thing that's happened to me in my entire life! Thank you so much SuicideIsTheBest.com!!!"
