That just gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Go fdisk yourself."

1. The index patient is from Cameroon, but was living in France at the time of discovery.

Yet another reason to avoid going to France! =D

I grew up in a conservative rural area, maybe it's different elsewhere. This was the kind of place where the parents got mad when teachers had grade schoolers read Harry Potter.

I grew up in one of the more liberal areas of the country (New York City, Park West High School), and it was required reading for me as well.

I think that conclusion is right on. The way I see it, it's similar to using trainers or cheat codes in a single-player game. Some people (Such as myself) would love to experience the fullness and richness of a game, but just does not have 70 hours to devote to it. If cheat codes or a trainer can help me not deal with the leveling up crap and get to the story, it's fine by me. It's the story, not the process you use to get there.
