It appears this is only being reported by www.drudgereport.com.

Still, I don't think Drudge is putting this story up without having one reliable source.

For about an hour, it was just Drudge. Foxnews.com has in now too. I'm sure it's all over the place.

wow. Didn't think I'd get my news from here. Thanks for the post.

When he injured himself, I worked at a head-injured residential treatment center which had many of his needs. Hopefully, stem-cell research will address his needs and provide society with the needed technology.

Vote your heart.

it's just really unfucking fair. he should have been the first to walk again or get to die trying.

Reeve's will never get the chance to be as luck as this rat.

30 seconds paralyzed, then 30 seconds cured.

It's such a shame.

Heres a paper on it.

Agreed. It sucks there isn't more research being done in this area.

if the discussion here gets too stem-celly there should probably be a fork in the politics forum

Reeve was a truely great model..someone who refused to give up, no matter how hard things seemed. I will never forget him.
