US plan for Ebola quarantine unit in Kenya draws legal and ethical criticism

The United States is building a 50-bed Ebola quarantine and treatment unit at Laikipia airbase in Kenya for Americans exposed to the virus, prompting criticism from former senior health officials and a CDC workers' union. The plan has also been challenged in court in Kenya, where a high court blocked the order before the two governments moved ahead, according to the supplied material. First American responders were reportedly landing at the airbase on Saturday.
