These health care providers are not military or government personnel. They went to Africa voluntarily knowing the danger. The US has no obligation to bring them back(on the taxpayers dime) and endanger the whole population to a virus that has no cure. It is not the right thing to do. It is better to be be selfless and sacrifice a few than risk the whole population.

You mean selfish. If the infected guys chose to remain in Africa to avoid any chance of infecting fellow Americans, that would be selfless.

If we abandon them to their fate because we're (not unreasonably) frightened, that's selfish.

I totally agree...such is the danger when you go to a 3rd world country as a missionary. They willingly went and exposed themselves to danger. It is not incumbent upon us to brink them back here for treatment and risk the potential hazards associated with it.
