Is there any evidence that attempting to block access to information on suicide actually reduces suicide? Supposedly teenagers that receive more sex education are less sexually active. Maybe by providing this information we actually reduce the occurrence of suicide?
We shouldn't avoid presenting it, just as we shouldn't present it ad hoc. We should present it in a responsible manner with all the necessary context.
Merging the methods article into the main article on suicide is the best course, in my view, since it would go a long way to providing the necessary context.
