I wouldn't say anyone deserves to be a quad, but for most people at least you know what the cause was. Either the stupidity of others caused it to happen to you or something you were doing caused it.
Like you said, it's more important what one does after with their second chance of life. Due to circumstance there is sometimes very little one can do, but for others life is what you chose to make of it.

Hi,
I guess some of us deserve to be a quad more than others, but to the walking world we are all looked at the same basically. People in general know nothing of disability other than they dont want to become disabled. Someone mentioned earlier its what you do after chair that counts now, it really doesnt matter who thinks what. When your on your death bed we all want to feel we did what we could while we could. Another point is that for a person to receive a spinal injury it usually means they were close to death, we are the lucky ones really...we still have life....and where their is life their is hope and a chance to better yourself.
