The Ebola epidemic in West Africa is not merely a biomedical problem that can be seen in isolation and dealt with only through emergency medical rescue processes. The ethical dilemmas surfaced by this epidemic are also not confined to the usual micro-ethical problems associated with medical care and medical research. The pandemic, as one of many manifestations of failed human and social development that has brought the world to dangerous 'tipping points', requires deep introspection and action to address upstream causal processes.
西非的埃博拉疫情不仅仅是一个可以孤立看待并仅通过紧急医疗救援过程来处理的生物医学问题。这场疫情所引发的伦理困境也不限于与医疗护理和医学研究相关的常见微观伦理问题。作为人类和社会发展失败的诸多表现之一，这场大流行已使世界处于危险的“临界点”，它需要进行深刻反思并采取行动来解决上游的因果过程。
