Do the ends justify the means? blog post #3

          Ebola rapidly spreads throughout African countries because they don't have the proper technology or knowledge to control this deadly disease. They don't have the medical equipment or knowledge to help treat these people. Once someone in their family contracts this disease, they want to take care of them by themselves without help from any doctors. This is not good because without them being quarantined it's spreading like wildfire throughout the country and infecting a plethora of people. The more people who get treated and helped, the less this will spread and less causalities will come of this. By ignoring this and not taking proper precautions, the situation is only getting worse and uncontainable.
         The idea to go knocking on everyone's door and testing them for the disease seems like a logical way to go about this. People will lie about having it and just end up spreading it, unless the US takes charge of the situation. It seems harsh to go around taking people from their homes unwillingly and abruptly, but this way less people will get infected and that benefits more people. The less people who contract ebola, the better. The ends justify the means in this situation because although it seems harsh to take people from their homes, it'll save lives and that is the most important goal.
