I just found out that Christopher Reeve died sunday night.

He apparently suffered cardiac arrest on saturday, fell into a coma, then died of heart failure late sunday.

His dying wish was for people to keep funding / encouraging stem cell research

ironic the man who played superman advocation for human sacrifice in the name of progress, sounds like a lex luther thing really.

ah well, maybe in the afterlife he'll have legs.

my brother and i used to joke that the original doom was his first video game appearance because the main character couldn't jump and we found that annoying.

That website is shit Paradigm. His argument is that Reeves was selfish when he became paralyzed because he started a foundation for it but didn't care much for it before. Well shit, that makes every other fucker in the world selfish. In order not to be selfish you'd have to run a charity for every life threatening illness or disability, because if you happen to get one of them I think you're gonna care very much about the situation you've been put in.

It's a shame he's dead, I loved the Superman films as a child. But yeah, shit happens.

thats because humans by nature are selfish, theres no way around it. Also that is a satire website nothing on there is meant ot be taken seriously. Its like Swift's "Modest Proposal"
