Question

A few years ago, Ebola was all over the news and it looks like it may return. A treatment method developed during the last outbreak involved patients who have recovered and then donated plasma to patients fighting an active infection. It is a remarkable treatment, with potential ethical dilemmas. Now, many people are attempting to turn to convalescent plasma treatments in lieu of vaccinations. There are articles on both Ebola and COVID-10 convalescent plasma use. Read the articles below, feel free to do more research on your own on the topic. Using the information in the lesson, the articles, and your own research, answer the following questions: 1) What are the potential ethical issues for donors, recipients, and medical providers? 2) What rules and stipulations should be applied to it's use, given that there is a limited supply for use in treatment? 3) Would you use this treatment for yourself or a loved one?
