Thus, they don´t care about them, regardless if these people have an enjoyable life or suffer, do something great or make terrible mistakes or crimes.Reeve did probably know no (on a personal level) paralyzed people before he became one. Until he did became one, he had no real reason to care, or better said, he had no interest in them. As my teacher once explained: Interest comes from the Latin "Inter Esse" (or something like that, I never had Latin), and means something like "in between" - he wasn´t between them, he had no interest.Yesterday, a local radio station reported about his Death and a few sayings of him regarding paralysis and medicine in general, and he said that before he became one, he didn´t knew about the kind of problems that existed here. Maybe - but I guess he had prefered to live a bit longer and possibly see the advancement in science that might help him or others. From what I gathered the past days, he seemed to have a lot of hope left...May the things he did have a positive meaning, and may he rest in peace.</blockquote>
