I agree that a show like push girls does NOT show what life with an SCI really is like for the vast majority of people. I am also someone who despises "reality" TV because it is all very staged by the producers who want to drive ratings for their show. There are many examples where an event happens or questions people ask each other on the show come right after a camera angle "change". It is a positive thing to see these girls getting out and living lives actively but I agree that putting that image in front of the general public can be good and bad. Some people will think it is not really that hard a life and not give it a second thought. I hope more people will watch it and realize they can do more to help or change things for the better for people with SCI's. Maybe someone who never donated a cent will donate now. Maybe someone against stem cells will realize we may cure paralysis with it and educate themselves just a little because of the show. At the very least, the show is making people think about people living in wheel chairs which I believe has to be a good thing in the long run.
