  Last year the Abigail Alliance won a stunning decision from the DC Circuit Court of Appeals that dying patients have
  a due process right to access drugs once they have been through
  FDA approved safety trials.  Here's a sad update from Kerry Howley writing in the Aug/Sept. issue of Reason Magazine (not yet online):

  After last year's ruling in the alliance's favor, the FDA argued that the group no longer had legal standing to sue it, since none of the patients who had signed the original affidavits were still members.  They were all dead.
