Even given the existence of research establishing statistically significant correlation, I don't buy that that means there should just be a blanket gag on writing about suicide in the news. Just because there's some second order effect of disseminating some information doesn't mean we ought to withhold that information. Maybe there are numerous positive second order effects as well, which just aren't as easily measured. Just because some people have a bad reaction to some information doesn't justify taking away everyone else's freedom to share or access said information.
