Debate time! I’m interested in your thoughts, Twitterverse: Is it unethical to own a gambling business in the knowledge that you’ll benefit from people becoming addicted, potentially ripping their lives apart? Go.pic.twitter.com/YX5HwCPUT6

No, you shouldn't be held accountable for others addictions; just because you're the one providing a service to people; which many people use and don't become addicted. Are fast food paces and off licence owners responsible for making people obese / alcoholics? Decent debate, +1

Question: does the presence of socially accepted/normalised examples therefore make it ethical by association, or could it stand to reason that they're just *all* unethical?

I suppose it could be argued that they're all unethical. Corporations are taking advantage of those with medical issues (gambling problems, alcoholism, obesity etc..); by making things so appealing to everyone. At the end of the day all companies want to do is make money.

On the other hand; if these gambling organisations didn't exist (being a 'safe' way to gamble); would people with addiction problems find other ways to gamble through people like loan sharks - potentially getting physically hurt, along with not helping their addiction.

Good point. Like how (I've heard) Portugal combatted its heroin epidemic by legalising drugs, enforcing regulation, and providing safe environments for people to dose up -- places with medical professionals on hand to ensure that they at least do it safely (doses, clean needles).
