This message doesn't only encourage the terminally ill, it nudges people on the edge over the cliff because now its hip... People kill themselves anyway, they don't need encouragement, not ever.

the people who kill themselves for the reason's you state are still going to kill themselves anyway, regardless of whether the terminally ill do or don't. Rationale for those people is gone, and whether it's 'hip' or not doesn't even come into it. People who commit suicide due to depression do it for vastly different reasons, the two don't even compare, nor cross over in the slightest.
