I do not see how that article is any more dangerous than something like [[thermite]] or any of our better and more detailed articles on fun things like various hazards to life and limb.

Sure, we have lots of articles on things that are dangerous. We probably have many articles on various things which mention at some point in the article that the thing can kill you. But this is different; it's a whole article entirely about methods of killing yourself.
See my above post; sure, our goal is to present factual content in an informative manner, but our goal is also to do this in a responsible fashion by providing adequate context where necessary.
