Besides humanitarian reasons? How about this: the risk model for ebola is based on limited empirical data from past strains. The current outbreak already exceeds past outbreaks. If the virus is different than the past, or it mutates, then the model from which we assess that the risk is low could be wrong. So helping to end the outbreak, for one, would cutoff many, many opportunities for ebola to mutate into something even worse.
