Why is it over the top? At least give credit, as Scott does, to
the realities of the beliefs behind the opposition. If someone
believes abortion is really equivalent to murder, wouldn't you
_expect_ them to oppose using the left-over "cadavers" in
research? Rather than vilifying them for it, congratulate them
on being consistent.
(to others, I'm just following Peter's phrasing -- I do understand
that stem cell lines don't just (or maybe even at all) come from
aborted fetus tissue)

If stem cells do not come from "cadavers" why are people opposing
stem cell research?

If people opposed Reeve's life work because of a misconception then I
don't know what you want to call it, but it does seem "bad" for
those people to gush over Reeve now that he's died.
