" the death of superman "

---

christopher reeve has died. he was 52 years old.

you try and define hero, and you come up with those individuals who have done something to better humankind. it's not unknown that reeve was the most famous 20th century incarnation of an on-film version of superman, but when you think about what he did with his life after his paralyzing accident, you begin to see how the moniker became a title of respect for his efforts.

through christopher reeve's strength of character and personal perseverance, many will benefit from the advances he made in creating awareness of medical research pertaining to paralysis victims, and such possible practices such as stem cell research.

he is superman, and he proved it to everyone ten-fold. the world is one less hero today.
