Harvard needs its space. And University administrators, realizing the space crunch that plagues Harvard's Cambridge campus, are increasingly looking across the river to Allston for room to expand.

They say it's not wise to offer cheap AIDS drugs without a proper medical infrastructure--that deadly, drug-resistant strains would emerge. But at what point does the human benefit to desperate, destitute countries outweigh strict adherence to patents and profits...
