Republicans halt progress of Christopher Reeve Paralysis Bill after actor's death
Reeve’s S. 1010 is identical to the already passed HR 1998, aimed at enhancing and furthering research into paralysis and improving rehabilitation and quality of life for those with spinal-cord injuries. Even so, one or more Senate GOPers made it a casualty of George W. Bush’s mission to confine stem-cell research to a paltry few and inadequate lines despite the fact that Reeve’s legislation had nothing to do with that issue. That’s worth repeating: The thespian’s bill had nothing to do with stem-cell research.What despicable shits. It almost lends credence to Nader's assertion that the system is too broken to fix. A pox on all of these craven evil bastards and may they all become quadriplegics, so they can learn a modicum of compassion.
