I'm not going to even attempt to make a comment on this. If it helps the kids, well then more power to them.

OTOH, these drug companies are out of control. Just like my attempt not to comment ... =)

Existing drugs once approved may legally be used by a doctor for any purpose. In fact, many important medical advances occur this way. In cancer treatment, oncologists doing this kind of thing are 10 years ahead of standard treatments. Yes, there is higher risk, but many patients would rather take a risk than suffer or die with inadequate existing therapies. The real scandal is the long delay in FDA approval of new drugs. In this case we see smart physicians using the circulation increasing characteristics of Viagra to help children in desperate straits.

Viagra has also been found to be of benefit to mountain climbers. It helps the oxygenation of tissues and the climbers breathe better. I read this just recently in a journal.
