I don't care what Superman says, you don't harvest baby parts to further ANY cause.

This "hero's" star could really have been something to everyone, not just the liberals, if he didn't push stem cell research. Sadly, he goes down with most, and appears a shining example to the lost.

Friend:

Let me educate you a little. First: I am totally opposed to abortion. I have a friend who is 35 years old and has 3 children, age 10-15. She has Lou Gehrig's Disease, ALS, and we are raising money to send her to China for Stem Cell treatment. It has had remarkable results, even stopped the diease. This is the only chance we have to save her life. I am opposed to abortion, but if they are going to kill the babies anyway, why not use the stem cells to save a life? (at least until abortion is outlawed!) This woman is a good, devout, Christian, and deserves a chance to live.

----I don't care what Superman says, you don't harvest baby parts to further ANY cause.----

And I don't care how much of a Kerry Kool-Aid Kchugger Reeve was; you don't spit on his grave while the body's still warm just because he was WRONG about this particular cause. Especially when you know absolutely zero, zip, nada about what life must have been like for him over the past nine years. I honestly don't know just how strong my convictions on stem-cell research would be were I in Reeve's place, and neither, I suspect, do most of those condemning him.

Most of us will be fortunate never to know what it's like to live like a quadriplegic. Still more of us, thrust into that situation, would not be able to muster Reeve's will to keep on living, much less find a way to keep on working at the things we love, as he did. It doesn't matter to me that he was wrong about stem-cell research. I won't think any less of him when the MSM and the Kerry Kampaign start capitalizing on his death. He was still one hell of a courageous man, and he gave a lot of us a lot of joy when we were kids. That's what I'll remember.
