Would Christopher Reeve SINCERELY turn down the chance for a new body cloned from himself which could potentially house his memories and consciousness? What if we can clone a human NOT to have the parts of the brain associated with sophisticated human thought? Then Christopher Reeve's memory lobes could theoretically be transferred to the new, more primitive version of his brain in the walking version of himself. Shouldn't he get the chance to make the decision?

That's hardly a theory, more of a speculation. It is not known where memory, or personality, or consciousness, or awareness resides.

Should Christopher Reeve be allowed to dictate cloning policy because he's in a wheelchair? Ummm.... no.

The way the Hollywood left props up this poor, desperate, broken man at every turn is utterly shameful.
