I just saw the movie and found it very touching and inspirational in a lot of different ways. It pains me that there is yet another media circus dancing around it screaming bloody murder over something that is really peripheral to the movie. Yes, I think it's peripheral that she was paralyzed from the neck down. I think that even if she had lost only an arm and couldn't box anymore, she would probably have come to the same conclusion: that her life was over because boxing was her life. It seems to me that some people just love to focus all their attention on a few specific trees when there's a whole forest to marvel at.
