This is a good point. A dose of ZMapp was being stored on the very same premises where Dr. Khan lay dying. But instead of giving him the treatment on the spot, considerable risk was instead taken to deliver it to two Americans in another country 250 miles away. However it would be unfair to say that this was because the Americans' lives were valued more than Dr. Khan's. He was being cared for by Doctors Without Borders. For quite rational reasons they decided to withhold the treatment [1]. The Americans were under someone else's care and thus weren't subject to DWB's decision. My main ethical disagreement is with DWB's decision not to inform Dr. Khan of ZMapp's existence while knowing that it would be used by others.
