Actually, it looked computer animated, the body looked like how Reeves body
looks now.  I found it very distrubing.  Thanks ISM for forwarding the Times
article.  I forwarded it to my husband.  I've been trying to get him to
understand why some of the things Reeves is doing can be construde (sp?) as
distasteful.  Think of all those folks with spinal cord injuries who could
use that 2 mil  to make things accessible, 2 mil funds our EIP program for a
year, think of it.  I think research should be supported but, the folks who
are living now need to be remembered also.

Just my opinion,
Beth the OT

OK let me see if I got this right. An able body actor posed as a disabled
person in order to make a guy with a real disability appear to be able body?
And this is supposed to provide inspiration, encouragement and hope for
future cures? Only in Hollywood.
