Superman No More: Christopher Reeves has died

Pessimism was Christopher Reeves kryptonite, he was the supreme example of optimism. In his mind, through stem cell research, his recovery was inevitable. I myself was skeptical of what science could do to remedy his situation, especially with the current limitations, but throughout, Mr. Reeves was optimistic, science would prevail. I have no links, I just saw the ABC ticker announcing his death.

May 'Superman' rest in peace and may stem cell research, at whatever capacity, continue on in his name. May America and the world understand that such research is benefical for many reasons, learning from the organic source to aid those in need is not a sin or a crime, it's human nature. Superman will continue on, Christopher Reeves does not, but thank you Christopher, thank you for the lesson and a great example of optimism.
