Steven J. Stack, Wayne State University professor who studies suicidal behavior and attitudes, comments in quoted in a story arguing that the Internet can be a haven for cyber-bullies and has the potential to popularize suicides (prompting \"copy-cats\" to take their own lives).\"I believe that the Internet has the potential to significantly increase or decrease suicide, depending on the nature of the messages, who they reach, and other considerations,\" he said.
