"6 August 2014 -- Next week, WHO will convene medical ethicists to explore the use of experimental treatment in the ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Currently there is no registered medicine or vaccine against the virus, but there are several experimental options under development. The recent treatment of 2 health workers with experimental medicine has raised questions about whether medicine that has never been tested and shown to be safe in people should be used in the outbreak and, given the limited medicine available, if it is used, who should receive it."
Surely if you have a virus that results in almost certain death the least of your worries would be whether or not the medicine has gone through the correct testing and regulation?
I say just try everything you've got.
There's a reason medicines need to be tested. For all they know this cure could mutate the virus making it able to be spread through the air making things a million times worse.
oh right, thanks.

"The World Health Organisation has declared the current ebola epidemic in West Africa an international health emergency".
No doubt the British 'Government' will convene a meeting of COBRA to discuss the action that's needed...........
just as soon as everyone is back from their holidays.

The sad thing is more people die of starvation than will ever be killed by this virus, yet no one seems to care
