I agree that the way to get it is if someone has it, but it will be more difficult to control the more people that get it. Also, what happens if it does mutate and then the numbers of people getting it go up exponentially? It probably would be unrealistic to think it would stay in Africa forever.

How does putting 3,000 American soldiers on the ground in the hot zone where they CAN contact people with ebola help, exactly?
They are not going to cure it. How do you ensure they are infection free when they redeploy?
I would think that it would be much safer to take a chance on the possibility of it mutating than to put our people in direct contact now.
