I do not see how that article is any more dangerous than something

up in Google hits for these things anyway).
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.
