The Perfect Volunteer

Today, we have done a lot of speculation about character using evidence from the text Dr. Lazear also chooses to allow a mosquito to bite another volunteer, Private William Dean. Dr. Lazear leaves out one big detail though....

Poll

Do you think the doctors should have warned Dean that this was the same mosquito that had recently bitten Dr. Carroll and gotten him sick?

• Absolutely

• Absolutely not

Open Ended

Do you think Dean would have still done the experiment if he knew this mosquito infected Dr. Carroll?

Multiple Choice

According to the text, Dean is healthy and unmarried. How do those qualities make him the "perfect volunteer"?

• His health can prove the mosquito is the cause of any illness, and he has a wife who can take care of him if he gets sick.

• His health shows that he can fight off the disease, and his children also seem to have an immunity.

• His health can prove the mosquito is the cause of any illness, and he doesn't have a family that relies on him if he gets sick.

• His health shows that he must be immune to yellow fever, and he doesn't have a family that relies on him if he gets sick.
