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

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.
I doubt they *intend* to ruin lives as such, but the intention for addiction is certainly there in these cases, although perhaps not in so many words. Question is, is addiction always life ruining? Can the two be mutually exclusive?
