It was recently reported (from the AP wire in our Campus Newspaper
which for some reason runs various articles relating to non-school
affairs) that a person in Texas is being prosecuted under a law making
it illegal to aid and abet a suicide.  This law was never used before.

This was brought once before a grand jury who no billed it.  It
was brought again by a Judge Holmes where an indictment was brought in.
