The ongoing Ebola outbreak has raised many important ethical issues. Does quarantine have a role to play in controlling the epidemic? Why was the initial response to the outbreak in Guinea so slow and what ought be done to prevent that from happening again? And what sorts of restrictions should be placed on testing experimental agents in West Africa? Each of these questions will be examined and discussed.

Abstract
Recent instances of governments and others refusing humanitarian assistance to refugees and IDPs (internally-displaced persons) unless they agreed to polio immunization for their children raise difficult ethical challenges. The authors argue that states have the right and a responsibility to require such vaccinations in instances where the serious vaccine-preventable disease(s) at issue threaten others, including local populations, humanitarian workers, and others in camps or support settings.
