Paralysed Superman star Christopher Reeve today opened a forum on spinal
cord injury, praising Australians' positive attitude and promising hope to
spinal injury sufferers.
Reeve, paralysed from the neck down in a horse riding accident in 1995,
also took the chance at the NSW Premier's Forum on Spinal Cord Injury in
Sydney to again push for greater stem cell research and therapeutic cloning.
"It seems to me only reasonable to continue (research) on all fronts," he said.
The actor said a breakthrough in stem cell research was not as far away as
people thought.
"The end game will not take 10, 20 ... years it will be much quicker than
that," he said, adding that human trials had already been approved by the
US government.
Reeve also said that he liked Australians' approach to problem solving.
When faced with adversity Australians lump adversity into only two
categories, he said.
"It is either no worries, or it's a bit of a worry."
