Exposure to the deadly Ebola virus poses a serious health risk, but also triggers a dramatic restriction of American civil rights. The threat posed by the virus enables the government to restrict the movements of those exposed. But who gets monitored, quarantined or isolated, for how long and at what personal risk?
Mark A. Rothstein, the director of the University of Louisville’s Institute for Bioethics, Health Policy and Law, is a leading expert in his field. He has been called to advise the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and testify before the U.S. Congress on health related issues, including the SARS outbreak in 2003. He is available for interviews to all media about the current Ebola outbreak, the processes behind quarantining American citizens and possible scenarios about what could happen next.
Rothstein can be contacted by email or by phone at either 502-852-4982 or 502-895-4688.
