Re: Web induced suicides?

Again we have the debate as to who or what is responsible and what responsibility is.Do websites like these actual make people kill themselves? Are they a catalyst that influence people to kill themselves who may not have thought to do so? Or are people's mind's are ready made up and this is the validation or excuse to put them over the edge?

Of course they've already thought of it, or else they wouldn't have been searching for websites that pertain to suicide in the first place.
As far as whether these websites are responsible in these deaths, or not, is the real question. I am going to assume here, not having seen one of the sites in question, that it is a basic "how-to" instruction manual on suicide. If they hold no legal responsibility, then certainly they would hold a <b>moral</b> responsibility.
edit: fixed your quote tag
