I suspect you perhaps didn't actually read my post that carefully. As I pointed out, this was a drug from an American pharmaceutical company. And the trial was overseen by the CDC, which last time I checked, was an American federal body. So it's perfectly reasonable, whether for legal, jurisdictional, or whatever reasons, that they would pick American citizens as their first guinea pigs. This has nothing to do with "only saving American lives". You could replace American with any other country, and it would probably be exactly the same. For example - Bayer, a German drug company, has in tandem with the Bundesinstitut für risikobewertung decided to run a trial on two local volunteer. Would you be just as outraged then? Yet, you seem to see this as some grand conspiracy to protect American lives... Further, you seem to have completely overlooked the fact that we have American citizens flying over to Africa, and putting themselves at risk to look after Ebola victims. I'm not even from America, and I don't really see the huge moral outrage here. The drugs hasn't even hit human clinical trials yet, so I don't see how you can even draw conclusions on who it might or might not be offered to.
