        @BBCBreaking If this deadly disease could kill me I would rather take the experimental injection. Because in my mind I am going to live.

        @BBCBreaking Surely common sense prevails here, the world needs a cure for Ebola a.s.a.p. If I had it, I would 100% want to be a guinea pig!

        @BBCBreaking As long as they are offering instead of forcing. I'm sure that the ppl who are infected wouldn't mind trying the drugs out

        @BBCBreaking if that Ebola cure happens to be cancer, is that still considered ethical? Food for thought!

        @BBCBreaking if the drug works give the people the drug. Save life and ask question later.
