Good point. Is it now legal to goad someone to jump off the roof? What about that woman that became a 16 y.o. boy on the internet and suggested to a teenage girl that "the world would be better without her", and the girl agreed? Are the sensitive and vulnerable now fair game for predators?
Your examples are relatively mild. The hospice patients are often in great physical pain and expect to die soon; they are especially vulnerable to such suggestion.
