The current Ebola epidemic has presented challenges both medical and ethical. Although we have known epidemics of untreatable diseases in the past, this particular one may be unique in the intensity and rapidity of its spread, as well as ethical challenges that it has created, exacerbated by its geographic location. We will look at the infectious agent and the epidemic it is causing, in order to understand the ethical problems that have arisen.
当前的埃博拉疫情带来了医学和伦理两方面的挑战。尽管我们过去也曾知晓无法治愈疾病的流行情况，但此次疫情在传播强度和速度，以及因其地理位置而加剧的所引发的伦理挑战方面，可能是独一无二的。我们将审视病原体及其引发的疫情，以便理解所出现的伦理问题。
