This week, we will discuss the ethical considerations
surrounding the forced containment of those who may become infected
with the Ebola virus. For this assignment, you will first play the role of a senior
advisor to the President of the United States. He has asked you to
assist him in persuading the American people that containment is
ethical. You will then play the opposing role – a private citizen who
opposes containment. Your job here will be to argue that
containment is not ethical. Finally, for your third post, respond to one of your classmates’
post and argue against the position in the post you respond to. You
will either argue in favor containment or against containment.
