It is more fun criticizing

Repost from BBC news
It was featured today at Al Jazeera and Fox News that the Zmapp drug used on two American missionaries to West Africa who were infected with Ebola is being flown to Nigeria to help combat the disease. This may sound unethical because the patients would be guinea pigs for the drugs.
So far the disease has killed more than a thousand (1,016) out of 1, 799 infected.
The drug is made by Mapp BioPharmaceutical based in San Diego California, has not undergone clinical testing, nor has acquired FDA blessing. But the drug was used on the two American missionaries and has made them better. It is made from extracts of tobacco plants from Australia and its efficacy so far has been tested to be 100% on monkeys.
The drug is known as 3 mouse monoclonal antibody/
The entire supply of Zmapp has been exhausted after this shipment. And this came at no cost to the LIberian Govt. The shipment came after the Liberian govt Pres Ellen Johnson appealed to the US govt. The role of US govt has been to put into contact Zapp and the Liberian govt.
What a great humanitarian gesture.
