The next two questions are extract from presidential commission for the study of bioethical issues. Respond to both. Here is a link with the questions as well as hints on how to respond.

Question 2. Kaci Hickox, a U.S. nurse who worked for Doctors Without Borders treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, was detained and quarantined upon returning to the United States, despite showing no symptoms of Ebola (individuals are not contagious with Ebola when they do not have symptoms). Were the restrictive measures imposed on Ms. Hickox justified? What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of imposing these measures? What ethical considerations should be taken into account in making decisions about when to impose restrictive measures?

Question 3. Isolation applies to patients infected with or exhibiting disease symptoms, while quarantine applies to those who have been exposed to a contagious disease (but do not exhibit symptoms). What ethical concerns might you have about how individuals subject to isolation or quarantine are treated, medically or otherwise? In other words, what should we do or not do with regard to quarantining an exposed, but not necessarily infected person? What should we do with regard to an infected and contagious person?Doctors Without Borders treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, was detained and quarantined upon returning to the United States, despite showing no symptoms of Ebola (individuals are not contagious with Ebola when they do not have symptoms).
