I would presume that if suicide was a crime (like it is in some states) that urging some to commit suicide would result in breaking the law only if they committed the crime, as an accessory. If one does not commit suicide, then you might be charged with conspiracy to commit a crime. I am sure that there is nothing wrong with sending someone the forms to request doctor-assisted suicide in Oregon.
