I am with you. It is an interesting concept, and actually I am surprised no one has tried it out as a defense.
I guess there is a fine line when you discuss the addiction/disease thing.
It has been discussed that I have a addiction (to what is irrelevant, but this is NOT hypothetical). More that certain behaviors I exhibt border on addiction...and may need some medical intervention from a Mental Health professional, who I am seeing in a few weeks. BUT, I guess just because something can be treated with meds, does not clasify it as a disease.
I think some addictive personalities can run in families...but it is still not catchy..like the flu or something.
