Who was Eliza Jane Scovill?

Eliza Jane Scovill was the daughter of AIDS denialist Christine Maggiore, an HIV-positive activist who publicly questioned the link between HIV and AIDS, and supported HIV-positive pregnant women who want to avoid taking anti-HIV medication. Eliza Jane's May 16, 2005 death from AIDS at the age of three and a half sparked a social and legal controversy over her mother's decision not to take precautions during her pregnancy to prevent transmission of the virus, and her parents' decision to not have her treated for HIV infection during her life.
