That was a completely different situation.
For the Buddhist monks it was an act of protest against events in Vietnam, and demonstrated their detachment from the physical body.
This is quite different from someone who kills themself because they cannot cope with life and its burdens, and they hope that death will somehow solve all their problems.
Peace.
