Evil Scientist: Really? Again, if Kate Moss wants to ruin her health by taking any form of drug, I'm not sure there is an argument for stopping her. If what you're saying is not "drug dependency is a sickness", but "drug dependency is a dependency", then why not just say that? Notwithstanding, it is her body and her choice. We might believe that she would be better off without, but then what experience do we have of being Kate Moss? Not a vast amount, I wean, except possibly on Saturday evenings. Also, I have yet to see any proof that she is dependent.
The treatment of Moss' drug consumption as likely to discourage other drug users from seeking help is a different and broader question. However, I'm not sure that it works in quite the same way. Moss is being critcised, as I understand it, because she is a role model - that is that she is encouraging drug use in others whose lifestyles cannot support it. I can see this argument, although I believe it to be cobblers. Moss is now claiming that she will seek help to resolve her "personal issues" - this, surely, is what we should be encouraging people with dependency problems to do? |
