And it's all entertainment. Think of how popular the videos of Nicholas Berg's beheading and Saddam Hussein's execution were once they hit the internet? People have a morbid fascination with the act of dying.

I have never heard of this, except for maybe in the movies. Have you seen this happen in real life, firsthand? Can you give me a factual example of this happening? I just cannot imagine it.

Personally, no. All I can go on is the firsthand account of a platoon sergeant I had who tried to talk a marine out of jumping from the top of the barracks at Camp Pendleton. He was the OOD (Officer of the Day) and was called to the barracks, along with the MP's and chaplain after the jumper was spotted by a firewatch who called it in to the Sergeant of the Guard. There was a couple of marines who were watching and one did sarcastically egg him on to jump, which resulted in quite the verbal berating from the chaplain himself.
