... but isn't this just like the "gesture" Chrstoper Reeve made to that spinal injury charity?

After suffering a spinal injury?

Granted it will help many others, maybe only others, but it's not as altruistic as it appears at first glance.

Either way, there will be no cure while there are still drugs to be sold by inhumane pharmaceutical companies which control symptoms over a period of time, instead of treating the cause.
