How arrogant, and sad. If you (and the other self-serving and self-centered critics on this thread) happen to be fortunate to live long enough, one day you will need some "goody two shoes" to help when you are incapable of helping yourself.
Oh yes - that day will come! Then perhaps you will learn, if not to have sympathy for others, at least to respect those who are willing to put their lives on the line to help those in need.
As for the self-proclaimed "Christians," how different are you from those who heap contempt upon the crucified Christ for "wasting his life" in dying for unworthy mankind? (in this case, unwashed Africans)

I think that helping others is a wonderful thing, but it should be a personal decision, and the person making that decision also has to accept the consequences of that decision.
But now, our country is now potentially going to be exposed to this disease. We are forced into this, the decision to bring these two back is not being asked of us.
One day, I will need help. But I would not want someone helping me at the risk to their own lives.
Charities like Samaritans Purse should not force this on US citizens.
These 2 people should never have been brought back.
I think the risk of transmission is small, but there is a risk, and with a disease as horrible as Ebola is, it should never have been introduced to American soil.

Good, that gives the lawyers somewhere to start if this thing gets out of Emory.
Not sure why you directed your post to me. Did I say something unkind about the Dr. from Samaritan’s Purse? I pointed out that the organization was being singled out for demonization while 340 Peace Corps volunteers with minimum screening were being whisked back into the general population.
