well... I suppose we can evaluate and debate the pathology of one who does things under the influence or one who is addicted to something.
In lab settings, animals' behavior has altered due to being "addicted".

Is someone who is a kleptomaniac immoral? It can be described as impulse control disorder. Is a person with tourette syndrome immoral just because they have the propensity to utter profanities or other inappropriate (racist) remarks? It is beyond their control.

I can go further but I hope you get the point.

edit: I just read post #83 and I suppose that was where I was headed with this one.
