Broadcasting suicide??

Ok, so surely the will or intent to kill oneself is up to the said person and noone else. The usual want or need to terminate your own life would come from a fit of depression, or a fit of slight insanity, whichever - there would usually be some underlying cause for this. So, why do A) people promote this possible mental condition, and B) broadcasty it over the internet.

I found two posts which angered me about said subject:

One: Teen broadcast suicide over internet
Two: How to kill yourself like a man



In the first link, it shows you a post in the New York Post about a guy in Miami who killed himself over the internet on a livewebcam stream, this is the part that got me: "while some users egged him on". Why would anyone do that? Sure, friends joke with each other, but for people to actually egg someone on in killing themselves is just WRONG! - But, who's to blame? This raises two points for me: a) who's to blame for the suicide? and b) should anything happen to the people that egged him on ?

Since suicide is (surprisingle and rather wierdly) a criminal offence should the people egging him on be held nd prosecuted for aiding a criminal?

- The second post is just stupid, and yes most likely a comedy thing - but people will take this seriously if given the right mental conditions and so should not be allowed on the internet, now I'm not saying that people should be constantly monitored as to what they put up on the net in this age of "freedom of speech" but surely something should be down to take down the offending page - I mean offering "fun" ways to kill yourself? Why would someone put that up? Maybe THEY have the underlying mental condition.
