Dr. Crawford, with the way MAID is talked about in the media, it seems that they are completely unaware of the danger of suicide contagion. We hear and see portrayals of MAID in serene and dreamy surroundings, with the idea that this kind of death is heroic and self-sacrificing, which is, of course, very opposite to the suicide prevention messaging.
Normally, we don't amplify or glorify the actions of, say, a shooter, for example, in order to avoid copycat behaviour. How real is the risk of suicide contagion with our media reporting and messaging, and what immediate communication safeguards should be in place to prevent that kind of effect?
