Is it morally wrong to make money off of Ebola?

Do you make moral judgements with the stocks you invest in, or does morality have nothing to do with your investments?

No, your money enables more money to be spent where it is needed.

I see nothing wrong with investing in companies that are involved in diagnosing, treating, and protecting from disease. It isn't like you are investing in a company that is out spreading Ebola for profit.

Is it wrong...maybe...does stuff like this happen all the time...you betcha.

Look at the military industrial complex. The war machine (us) blows up other countries...then once the "war" is over government contractors such as halliburton go in and rebuild for a fee of course.

There is a reason why we are always at war with someone or something, terrorists/drugs. Imagine how many people would be out of a job if we didnt destroy like we do...the numbers would be staggering.

Theres always money to be made when tragedy happens.
