Ebola

When studying information about hot viruses, such as Ebola, one will find a rather small collection of resources to choose from. The limited amount of research that has been done could be an influential factor of why little is known about these predators of mankind. Furthermore, medical professionals require more knowledge about hot viruses in order to better contain them. Throughout the years, researchers have been able to gain more information with the advancements in technology and have even…

To prospective donors, Hi, I’m Dr Keilah Truscott, a medical scientist in Perth that’s helping to find a cure for the horrific disease Ebola.

Hopefully we can become back on track soon. This type of research requires lots various types of equipment that…

Ebola in the Eyes of a Child The young girl sat across from me, slouched against the coffee colored armchair. Her brunette hair lay in a mass of snarls and her glasses slightly smudged. Her haphazard appearance reminded me once more of her youth. In the background, the sloshing dishwasher acted as a constant and homely sound.

Congratulations American media for crying wolf once again on the government leaders in their handling of this Ebola epidemic!

biggest Ebola outbreak in history occurred in West Africa. This outbreak eventually spread to other countries, and attracted attention from people all over the world. The United States experienced a few cases of Ebola and as a result, Americans became very worried, and began to fear that there would be a big outbreak in the US. However, there were only 4 cases including one fatality. Despite having few cases occur in America, the Ebola awareness was blown out of proportion. In the cartoon…

The issue of an Ebola epidemic gives rise to obligations for infected individuals in regards to the health of others. It requires the consideration of ethical theories such as utilitarianism and the right for autonomy, where there is a need for individuals infected with the Ebola virus to give up their liberty in order to prevent harm to others. This will be supported with the harm principle and the need for the government to contribute to the public good of preventing the spread of communicable…

The most influential example is Ebola, which is the most dangerous sickness people are facing, and there is no an approved way or drug can affect it. However, researchers are trying to find out treatment methods to help people by doing trials of experimental Ebola vaccines. In the…
