Brovo and MDK bring up good points I forgot to consider.

I understand the rationale of the drug may not be fully tested, but it's take the drug or the child dies.
But because of how drug testing and sale laws work, if it did go wrong that could cause far more people to not get the help they needed.

This is tempting me to do another 'How to read the news' posting, like I did in Turt's spam thread, but this really doesn't seem the place. I am curious though, so I'm gonna look at some more data on compassionate use and come back with what I find (anticipate, because it's bureaucracy, that the actual answer is sort of cold and disinterested and devoid of actual compassion).

I agree it's still the news and up to debate and bias.
I'm simply saying "At least this one isn't Fox News".
