Nope, not even close to rational on your part. You can't say that people talking can be responsible for some more suicides, and in the same breath say other people talking (aka the justice department accusing someone and threatening with severe punishment) can't be responsible for an action.

You are simply stating "I don't like to think this way, so I'm going to talk a bunch of illogical circles until it's too confusing to notice the cognitive dissonance".

Further, you are setting up a false dilemma based on "choice of death".

Further still, you are making a slippery slope argument about "how will this affect all the other activists".

Oh and the post to health department recommendations is an appeal to authority.

Finally, in the hypotheticals I give, 2 involve death stemming from a choice to partake in risky behavior.
