Whether the government has legal authority to quarantine an entire town for the purpose of preventing the spread of a deadly contagious disease to the entire nation? Laiza Gomes 8.1 17/11/15 Humanties In this essay I will be explaining “Whether the government has legal authority to eradicate an entire town for the purpose of preventing the spread of a deadly contagious disease to the entire nation.” This question has a two-sided answer, because people that work CDC and other organizations think that it’s something that can stop a worldwide spread but people that live in these places being quarantined or isolated think otherwise. The government only allows quarantine or isolation operations when it’s serious and can potentially get over the borders and spread worldwide like the Ebola incident for example. Theses operations have a completely different working system, as Isolation separation of people known or have signs of the disease and Quarantine when you are restricted from movement and they are provided with meals, sleeping accommodations, and other necessities. They would stay there until the risk of developing the disease or spreading the disease is over. It’s known that there is twenty U.S. Quarantine Stations, located at ports of entry and land border crossings, use these public health practices as part of a comprehensive Quarantine System that serves to limit the introduction of infectious diseases into the United States and to prevent their spread and not cause a huge worldwide spread. Now the people being isolated or quarantined think that it’s something almost brutal as there taken from their home or are stuck inside a town with an infectious disease. They aren’t given much of a choice when theses operations are done and stop them from leaving the borders, some describe isolation as being refugees others find it a way of protecting themselves and families from this thing attacking people’s organs. According to a survey conducted for the Trust for America's Health in 2007, "nearly 9 out of 10 Americans say they would abide by a voluntary quarantine and stay home in the case of an outbreak of a pandemic flu so really it depends on who you talk to really. But at the end of the day people realize they are being protected and a chance of living without this disease and they are granted with meals, sleeping accommodations, and other necessities. In conclusion it’s a smart operation but it needs to be explained to the public in more detail so they are aware of what is happening. Use of quarantine or isolation powers may create sensitive issues related to civil liberties, which could cause rebelling against the government in over two states. Quarantine and isolation are usually undertaken voluntarily but in rare circumstances can be required by public health authorities, so really it depends how bad the situation is of this deadly disease going around and how the outbreak could attack. This is a working progress operation in my opinion. My final decision is that it should be legally aloud because it’s an operation stopping infectious disease from going worldwide I understand it may invade people’s, lives but what’s more important a state being infected or the whole world.

Title: Origin Purpose Value Limitation National Conference of State Legislatures NCSL is a government organization source. This source is intended for adults and some teens but specific ages. It was written to inform people about state Quarantine and isolation statues. The value of this source is that it’s connected to the government which usually makes information more accurate. It’s only one open making it a Bias and it’s just a government point of view and not the public's. National Conference of State Legislatures Center for Disease Control and Prevention It’s a government organization source. This source is intended for teens and adults. It is was written to tell people the difference between Quarantine and isolation also if it’s allowed to happen. The value of this source is that it’s not only telling it’s allowed but also the differences in the operations. The limitation is it’s only facts not subjective when explaining the differences. WebMD Is a medical website that talks about different diseases and conditions. This source is intended for preteens and up, it was written to inform and give people knowledge of diseases and conditions also to persuade people. The value of this source it’s a medical website so it’s quite accurate it’s reliable The limitation is it’s only giving you a medical/scientific perspective so it’s quite bias. Source 1- Why- I chose this source because it’s a government website and how to inform people of the process and how it actually works but one thing that I wish was improved was that they had public opinion. Source 2- Why- I chose this source because it’s also a government organization, also because it was written to the define the differences between the two operations. Source 3- Why- I chose this source because it is a medical website and how it’s not only for preteens but almost all ages, but there limitations as it’s only facts.
