I just read that Christopher Reeve passed away yesterday of heart failure. He was 52. I was quite shocked! I don't think there was to many people with an injury like that, that had such a positive outlook on life! He will be missed, that is for sure.

People think that para- or quadraplegia is just a matter of inconvenience.

It isn't. It ain't 'Ironsides.'

When someone has that kind of damage, they have a whole series of complications, much as diabetics do. Ranging from bladder infections (they have to be catheterized) to problems related to having to wear a diaper all the time, to the horrific mental issues related to being rendered immobile and impotent.

So next time you hear someone pontificating about the ethics of stem-cell research and 'right to life,' think about the lives of people who fall off their horse, get clobbered by a drunk driver, acquire MS, or Lou Gehrig's, or who get hurt in the service of our country.

Rest in peace, Chris. You've done your time in Hell.

Two things...First. If you ever need a GOOD place to donate money, consider "The Miami Foundation". It's a reaserch fund for the developement of therapy, and (hopefully) the "cure" to spinal chord damage....

Secondly, Former major league baseball great, Ken Caminneti also died yesterday, at age 41. He was an abuser of steriods and cocaine. Too bad...What a loss his family must feel. John
