I think there's a pretty solid case for that being a non-optimal solution, even if you've bought all their other premises. (There's not enough of them for a single or even mass suicides to inspire other people to do so, and then they'd just lose the longterm memetic war)

I am quite confident of this result, anyway. Actually, I don't see any chances for a memetic war at all, never mind long-term X-)
