Making remarkable progress how? He was completely paralyzed. It's not something that is reversible.

When he was first paralyzed, he couldn't even breathe on his own. I'm not sure what all his abilities evolved to recently, but it was a lot more than laying there like a vegetable on a respirator.

Not that what he tried to do was BAD mind you, but to garner so much praise for his "unselfish" deeds is ludicrous.
Do most people care that much about other people's problems unless it affects them personally?
Did Michael J Fox give a horses ass about parkinsons before he got it? Probably not.
To me it doesn't matter when or why he did the things he did, but just that he did them at all.

BS. He still can't breathe on his own.

I'm sure the people out there doing research on various ailments were not ALL touched by personal tragedies of the sort they are trying to cure.
I agree, that what he did was a valuable contribution to the cause, but to get all the praise for it, well that kind of praise should be reserved for the people out there who do things without ulterior motives IMO.

Then Barbara revisits a transformed Christopher Reeve. He has made remarkable progress since his accident, accomplishing things no one thought possible. Through tremendous focus and a rigorous exercise program, Reeve has regained sensation to over 70 percent of his body and is able to breathe without his ventilator, a feat he demonstrates for Barbara and for the first time in public.

Now STFU. Christ.
Sorry, but I don't think it matters if the person has an "ulterior motive" before they launch into a lifetime of creating support and income or attention for a just cause.
I think it's taking a lemon and making lemonade. All the little kidnapped/murdered kids, the parents went out of their way to create laws to protect someone else's kid. If more money can be gained because a celeb like Chris Reeve or MJ Fox lend their stature I think that's great.
