Luca Coscioni, a leading spokesman for people with ALS in Italy, has died at the age of 39.

Coscioni spent the last years of his life campaigning for political and legislative support for scientific research, including stem-cell research. He was to be a candidate in the upcoming Italian election this April.

A short piece of his writing - "Those of us who cannot wait" (http://threemonkeysonline.com/blogs/view_from_bologna/), is translated at Three Monkeys Online magazine
