A Boston Herald article suggests that Christopher Reeve’s most enduring legacy will be to further inspire research into regenerative and stem cell medicine. “The particular nature of his injury and his vocal activism have brought to the forefront stem cell biology … Christopher Reeve’s death, in addition to the late President Reagan’s, simply underscores the importance of this field and the need for there to be applications of stem cell biology.” Christopher Reeve was one the few unarguably great men of modern times, an inspiration for patients and research advocates. He will be missed, but the wheels he set in motion continue to turn. “I think there are so many people now who have taken up the cause. It’s given us so much more incentive and motivation.”
