week, 91-year-old California resident Sharlotte Hydorn
was visited by a dozen FBI agents. The agents took her computer, her sewing
machine and supplies for her do-it-yourself suicide kits. Ms Hydorn says that
she may face charges for mail fraud. The nonagenarian became notorious a
few months ago after Nick Klonoski, a 29-year-old Oregonian, used one of her
mail-order kits to kill himself in December. Last month, senators in Oregon
passed a bill that would ban the marketing or sale of suicide
