The Hot Zone by Richard Preston Questions?

1. Choose 1 story line (Africa/Marburg or United States/Ebola) and answer:
Most citizens of the United States are not and were not aware of this event. Do you feel the officials in charge should have made this knowledge more public? Why or why not?

2. Do you think we should continue to use primates imported from other countries for scientific research? If yes, explain why. How do the advantages outweigh the risk of viral infections? If no, explain why not. What alternatives could we use?

3. Which virus do you think is more dangerous to the human species? Why do you think this? Use examples from the book to support your answer.

sounds as though you should probably do your own homework
